Holiday and blog break

I'm taking a short, but much-needed, holiday in New Zealand - am currently writing from an internet cafe in Auckland.

Saw hundreds of dolphins outside the harbour this morning. This afternoon was spent on a 12-metre (America's Cup) yacht, racing another one ... as paying tourists manned the winches, or ducked from one side to the other, while the boat tacked. Cool!

I'm Jealous. Oh well. I'm going camping in the Prom. for a few days next week. That will have to do me I guess.
Enjoy!
