Worth a Thousand (1)

---

Unfortunately, while travelling through New Zealand I found it hard to get access to internet on a regular enough basis to enable me to keep blog updated. Given that we are now in South America I can only see the chronology getting even more out of order.

Given that they say a picture is worth a thousand words my solution is to do a quick trawl through our photographs and to post a small number up to give a taste of our New Zealand trip. Hopefully, I can then post South American updates more frequently.
