So it has been a while, sorry friends...

But life is sunny and magnificent right now. I have just had four fabulous days of adventure and scenery driving up NZ's South Island's West Coast. It has been so dazzling and wonderful, and has offered some much needed time away from work/drizzle/sandflies.

I'm in Christchurch now and must go back out into the sunshiney pleasantness that is city in summer (ya know, all ice creamy and gooey streets and barefooted children and too short skirts)

I promise to provide a riveting and detailed account of my travels upon my return to home base.

Happy is the traveler.
