Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well, New Zealand is not where I thought it was - I thought that it was across the Australian continent - good I took a look at a map - water all the way. When we reached New Zealand, we flew over the entire country - the photo below.


We landed in Christchurch - which was supposed to be more British than Britian ... I've been to Britian and it was a huge dissapointment. Cool church though (and I got to buy an entire Nativity made out of Olive Wood from the Holy Land - including the manger - yes ... spoiled.


On to taking photos of a very Harry Potter'ish school:


Then on to Wednesday (that was Tuesday up above) and our encounter with a 'Kea' - a very friendly parrot who liked nomming on our antenna until we decided to feed him a cracker:

Her baby was to die for, but I am going fast and will put a photo of him in a later post (we have had to pay for internet and dead tired - thus the first night we paid for internet).

Drove across the entire country from the East Coast to the West Coast and discovered to our dismay the 'wet side of the island'. We went up to the 'Pancake Rocks' an hour out of our way (we have been making good time) and the rain let up for us to take some photos:

Hope to get to the second blog later tonight and tell you all the things that happened today.
Will it be raining? Is it a bust?
See you in a few hours!
