NZ Holiday

Hey People

We are both having a great time in NZ and thoroughly enjoyed seeing Karl in Australia on the way. The weather in Australia was hot as to be expected and this was a big change - minus 10 to 38 plus !!!

We did lots with Karl and loved being shown around Perth and where he lives. Rottnest Island was also great until the jellyfish attacked Charly. A bit of vinegar, ice pack, warm shower and soothing cream did the trick and we were off again !

The weather in Dunedin was crap at the beginning but now it has made an about turn and is pretty good with 32 degrees yesterday !! We even spent the last 2 days at the beach.

Had a fantastic time in Wanaka for 4 days with Keri, Dave, Jack, Josh and Henri. Also managed to catch up on Jan, Clare and Aunty Nan in Clyde on the way back.

Maybe on the next trip we will just meet Mum and Dad in Wanaka and have our holiday in Central Otago !!

Here are some photos of our trip so far:
