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.
