New Zealand


This time we are going to New Zealand - land of the long white cloud, which is particularly true of New Zealand at the moment where it has been raining practically non stop for 3 weeks.  It is also home of Ron’s forefathers.  He is descendant from the Maori Princess Irihapeti Te Paea which means he and the boys can kill as many mutton birds as they want.  I am taking a 0.22.  

The plan is: Leaving on Boxing Day to go to the South Island landing in Christchurch. Then Arthur’s Pass, Christchurch for New Year’s day, Dunedin, bicycling on the Otago rail trail for 5 days then Queenstown and Milford Sound.

Not at all sure about internet availability in the places we are staying because they are off the beaten track so will give you some info now.

Greetings:
