February 27, 2005Picton - Nearing the EndHello! Well, we survived the Rugby game. The Highlanders lost to the Blues 30-14, but I think we learned a little bit about Rugby. Lots more action than American football. The girls even ran into the Rugby team at one...Read this update February 24, 2005Queenstown and DunedinHello everyone. Driving here is great! Left side of the road and twisty and curvy and fast! Not sure if Karen, Sal, and Di are liking it, but I am!! Drove south from Nelson and stayed over at Franz Joseph...Read this update February 20, 2005On the Road AgainHi all. Just a quick note. We spent 3 beautiful days in Takaka. Did a couple of great hikes up in the Abel Tasman N.P. Saw some seals and some quail (with baby chicks) on yesterday's hike. The views of...Read this update February 18, 2005TakakaFrom Motueka, we caught a bus to Takaka. We found a place to stay and then went and rented mountain bikes again. We rode about 5 miles out of town to the base of a mountain (big hill) and ditched...Read this update Back in ActionHello again. We've been busy the last few days! From Turangi we took a long ass bus ride down to Wellington (very beautiful scenery again)....Read this update February 13, 2005Hamilton and TurangiThe biker rally was fun. We met a few people from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and even a guy from Fargo, ND. Some people we met were trying to find us all rides for the Thunder Ride on Saturday, but only one...Read this update February 10, 2005RotoruaOk, so I guess this computer isn't too slow (just me). Here are some photos. Scuba Dive Site Cathedral Cove Purangi Winery The Chat-n-Chew South...Read this update WhitiangaWhitianga was awesome! We all rented mountain bikes yesterday. Karen, Sal, and Diana weren't ready to go, so I headed out for Cathedral Cove. The bike ride was beautiful, but very hot and humid. The views of the ocean from...Read this update February 08, 2005CoromandelHello All! Sorry it's been a while since the last update. We left Piahai and went down to Whangerei (rhymes with Tanguray - gin). Diana and I booked a day with Tutakaka Dive and went out to Poor Knights Islands....Read this update February 05, 2005PiahaiWe're in Piahai now. Very beautiful bus ride up from Auckland. Lots of twisty windy roads, sheep, cattle, etc... A few areas looked like Hobbiton and the Shire (yes, we are in Lord of the Rings country). Just getting rested...Read this update We Made ItHello all. Well, we survived L.A. and the 12 hour flight and arrived in Auckland at 6:00am this morning (it's about 10am now). We are going to catch a bus up north to the Bay of Islands at 11am. Today...Read this update February 04, 2005L.A.Arrived in LA at about 7pm last night local time. Annie (Di's friend from college) picked us up and brought us to our hotel (right on Hermosa Beach). Annie lives about 4 blocks up from the beach, so we hung...Read this update February 03, 2005February 02, 2005Going, going, .........We fly out tomorrow! I can't believe the trip is already upon us.
