Today, another big trip. We are on our way to Dunedin. Our lunch stop was in a little town of Owaka. I think it is a quirky place from what I’ve seen, but the people are certainly friendly.

VoyageurHello 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
