Hello and apologies for my absence, I’ve been pretty unwell over the last couple of days since catching Craig’s cold. Neither of us have felt brilliant but as we’ve had three one night stops in a row we’ve had to keep on trucking!!
I set up a separate page for the second part of the South but for some reason it’s not visible to you so please return to the original Beautiful South for the next adventures. I haven’t written anything yet and some of it has blurred whilst I was a bit delirious but I’ve taken some notes and photos so I can catch up.
We’re currently in the stunning Akaroa where I wish we were staying longer. We arrive in Kaikoura tomorrow for three nights so I’ll bring us up to date whilst I’m there. Hope those of you in the UK are surviving the late cold spell. Hopefully this will make you smile, it’s my fluffy nephew Sulley looking extremely unimpressed with the weather – thank you for the great photo Cassie!
So you probably like the Travelling Wilburys? Blast you, your dolphin pictures are better than mine! But I’ve just posted quite a lot from our trip (but none of Shirley’s here) on https://paulgraber.smugmug.com/New-Zealand-North-and-South-2023/
I do like the Travelling Wilburys and I rechecked their songs to see if there were any missing “g”s!! No, none that I could see.
Fab, thanks, I’ll have a look at those… about to post some more 🐬 too… x
Hi Catherine and Craig.
Great to see your adventures and so envious of your NZ time! Life in the road and time take on different dimensions and the meetings and zooms are far behind! Great freedom and love every minute. X
Ah, thanks Simon! I thought I’d dislike moving around so much but I absolutely love it, we’re having a brilliant time! Hope all’s well with you guys x PS – how’s the woodland?
What an amazing adventure living the dream through your stories, pictures and experiences. So jelly u saw Hobbiton hee hee! Have fun in Tasmania hopefully you see some Tazzas 🤣 lots of love to both you and Craig wish I’d just stuffed the box of tea bags in your suitcase xxx
Ah, Glad you’re loving it – you’re with us in spirit my lovely. Hobbiton was excellent, now we’re loving Tasmania. If we’re luck today we’ll get to hold some fluffy creatures 🤞. Big hugs x
