New Years, Phat 08, Inangahua, NZ
One of the best things about travelling is knowing that you have a beautiful country to come home to any time you need... even if it is on the other side of the globe 😊

The chance to be a tour guide at home was brilliant! Especially given the opportunity to hang out/stay with so many friends - Asia was very impresed. Apologies to those we missed seeing.. with highlights such as the Canty Uni Geology Dept., a paddock in Inangahua, the patch of grass behind the Granity pub, and a crowded Lyall Bay flat - you might consider this as the 'B' grade tour of NZ. I figured if I left enough of the 'good bits' till next time, there'd be plenty of incentive to come back and visit soon 😉

That's about all I have to say... picture, 1000 words and all that. We really did see some magic things, not the least of which being the comeback of the Tui's.. I'll have to re-think my opinion of our fauna - it's not all lazy!

Hei kona ra,
