There's one place that you're welcome to

What time is it ? Is it morning ?

Am now back from New Zealand. You didn't break the UK while I was away, did you ?

In summary, I saw:

• Penguins.


• Volcanoes.


• Really big hills.


• Felix get married. The lady in question is still lovely.


• Flying fish.


• Dophins.


• An avalanche.


• Glow worms (alledgedly).


• Masses of primordial forest.


• Fjords.

... and lots of other stuff. It's been a busy fortnight.

New Zealand really is a very long way away. It takes forever to get there. And back.

What do you mean you allegedly saw glow worms. They are pretty bright. Did you try black water rafting?

I saw a very blackly dark cave, studded with lots and lots of little blue-ish lights. The say glow-worms, I say LEDs. Pretty, though.

And no, we managed to get round the whole of NZ without doing anything that could even be plausibly described as an extreme sport. I know black water rafting is a lot more tame than in sounds, but we were in a large barge which floated gently about on its black water :)

Ooooh, I don't know... I got told off by the guide for dripping blood on the path on the way back from the cave to the minibus, because they didn't want to put people off who were about to go down. I would have thought it would add to the ambience.
