Have just returned, and yes the weather did delay the flight for about 30min from Brisbane into Auckland, but we moved on from there right away and stayed in Taupo on the first night, so we missed the massive storm front that hit the North that night. The weather for the next two days in Napier was wet but after that it was good but cold, not too cold, but cold enough. The South has looked brilliant for the skiers with healthy falls over the last few days.
I did manage to get online with my Aunty’s computer on Sunday night (23rd) but only long enough to check my hotmail, which was full of junk. I was online with an e-mail station at the Motel near Auckland air port last night for an hour or so for only 6 bucks, was able to catch up a little.
All round, a great week off and New Zealand is oh so beautiful, forgot just good it is, I mean it has been 21 years nearly since I was last there.
Regards, Glenn.
