Firstly, huge thanks to yalovetz and i_ate_my_crusts for their excellent cat and house sitting while we were away. Errol just yawned and implied "oh, you're back - that's nice." It was hours before she remembered that the cat behaviour guidelines meant that she should have been shirty with us for having gone away. She did sulk later - for about half an hour.

The holiday was great, though it wasn't quite the holiday we thought we were going to have. It turned out to be more of a driving holiday than a walking one. If google maps and your GPS unit both tellyou that it will take you an hour to travel 20 km - believe them! NZ is a seriously scrunched up country.

Anyway, I've put a few photos on my flickr page, a few more of picasa (I'm elissande there as well) and more to go up later. I need t sort through them. In the meantime, here's a cute one from somewhere in the middle of the North Island. We didn't even notice the name of the town, but we did notice the cookie plane.

As Terry Pratchet would say, it's gnarly ground. :)
You can walk for hours and still be close to where you started.
