Auckland

It bloody rains in New Zealand! And not just rain, that lovely fine all day drizzle just like in the UK - so this is why all the Brits like NZ, it reminds them of home so much :-) And not just rain but very changeable weather. The day I arrived it must have been in the mid 20s (celsius) which was just great as when your flight lands at 6am and you cannot check into your hotel until 2pm what are you meant to do - go and sleep in the park, obvioulsy! The following day was dry but the temperature had dropped a little and then a day of drizzle. Great for catching up on all those little issues that you need to do even when you are travelling - paperwork, checking bank statements, unblocking credit cards (doh!) and watching 007.

hi PIp, love following you around the globe even if it is from 'the helm of the Allenby Arms'. Lots of details please about NZ, it is on my serious list.
Some of us just do the same old things though, eg last Wed was snowy and cold so I, no 'we' and that's 'special we' did the Baslow/Chatsworth walk we did the other Xmas. It was good. See my flickr.

Take care Pip and keep having fun.
