Starbucks, Wellihgton

I'm at a Starbucks in Wellington, writing on my Nokia N800 Internet Tablet, using a Telecom NZ hotspot. Technology is so cool!

We camped last night at a campsite and had a terrible nights sleep. No more tenting.....

Shortly we'lll catch a ferry to the South Island...

Hibachi Party

Today we had Matthew and An-na Carter over for a BBQ. We used our Hibachis. Great little things. More work than a gas BBQ but more satisfying and an authentic smoked taste...

Merry Christmas

This will be Rachel's fourth Christmas! Today Rachel & Maree went to St Luke's and met Santa of all people! Santa's lair (can I call it that?) is a bit spooky. It's kind of like the one from Narnia where the white witch concocted all her evil plans. I prefer the more traditional green and red Santa's lair. But don't worry, he wasn't a Bad Santa (I haven't seen the movie but I am aware of it), although he was a bit stingy with the sweets.

It's been 11 months since my last post but I will try to uodate this with photos and bits of news during the holiday season, so be sure to check back from time to time....
