ReisenderHello Dianne and Tom, I was finally able to get back in to your findpenguins.com account - and have had a great deal of fun looking at your photos and journal accounts of Australia and New Zealand. It has been a fabulous and very intensive tour you have been on. Very few will have seen as much of Australia and New Zealand as you have! I especially liked the photos from Queensland and Sydney. And of course, I have always thought that New Zealand is a mini-Canada with warmer weather in the north and more vegetation. We especially liked the Queenstown and Milford Sound area and Christchurch on the South Island and .... Rotorua and Waitomo Glowworm Caves on the North Island. Enjoy the rest of your travels. See you in April. We had a lovely lunch yesterday - but missed you. Today I saw Jan- she has very sore legs but is hopeful that this treatment will help the calcium deposits in the tendons of her legs. Brad and I fly to Brisbane on Monday. We are very excited to see our friends - 2 who are also celebrating birthdays - and experience Queensland and Straddie Island. Fondly, Anni

It isn’t immediately evident that Christchurch is still recovering from the 2011 earthquake, because there isn’t any ruins. It has all been carted away and paved over or repaired. The exception toWeiterlesen

New Zealand was an excellent destination for travel. I heard the expression “New Zealand, the way it used to be!” That seems accurate. The highways are mostly two lanes, one in each direction. TheWeiterlesen
