Sandflies and birthday greetings!
Oh no, you encountered the sandflies...remember that in the next two weeks that if you go in salt water they will start itching all over again. We hate sandflies so we feel sorry for you! A big happy 30th to Dale! Sounds like you had a fab time in NZ with lots of great memories. Enjoy Oz and safe travelling! xx
