Merry Christmas to you all. We had an unusual Christmas, what with staying in a field, in a caravan in the local A and P grounds (Agricultural and Pastoral Showgrounds) and  in the shadow of the Invercargill Prison. Unusual but fun. It was sunny on christmas eve and we opened a bottle of bubbly and took in the views (photos to follow).  On the big day we geocached from Bluff to beyond, and had a super look around Invercargill. Dinner was two homemade roast dinners from a very nice little take away cafe (me Lamb, Leigh pork) . A fine time was had by all. Over the last couple of days we have moved up to Manapouri, set up camp and explored Milford today. Very very beautiful country. As is the way around here (two out of every three days), it is raining … so we thoughts we’d bring you up to date. Hi to you all …… next its off to Geraldine via Waikouaiti……………
Good to see someone is keeping the website going! I’ve been really busy with company and drinking and sleeping. 😉 We, too, had a swell Christmas; Santa was good to all. Day after tomorrow we’re going out to Sunshine and I’m going to try my hand at SNOWBOARDING. Watch this space for reports of broken limbs!
