Watch This Space for New Zealand photos and comments.

I'm mid-way through a NZ vacation in rainy mid-winter, amid an England and Ireland vs. New Zealand rugby tour and school holidays, so it's surprisingly crowded, though obviously not as much as it would be in the summer. I am very glad I did not come in summer. Have had some haps and mishaps, but most oddly of all, NZ leaves me ....bored. I must be the only person in the world, but it does not do much for me. At least now I can take it off my list of things to see. When I get to someplace with the correct cable I'll start downloading some photos.
