Yes he does, South Island is a lot more scenic than North Island.... in saying that though NZ is a beautiful country full stop. We cram so much into so little but that means travelling is a doddle. Scenery can change dramatically over 50 Km.

now when I should have a robe... I could also do that.
I even have my own roedeer in my back yard. But I'm sure nobody would dare to shoot them... they are garded by an extremely 'friendly' horse, a mix between czech warmblood and english full-blood (or should I say an english fool?) Nobody would dare to enter my back yard when I'm not there.

A man with patience to wait for them to grow-up.

I don't know about the rest other you, but I'm getting something else under my belt as the years go by that I am always striving to get rid of.
Elvis, do you get much snow other than to look at in the mountains?

we get maybe 3-4 lots of snow that will settle per year and that is gone pretty darn quick maybe stays around for a day or two.
