It is two months away

Well our holiday to the land of the Long White Cloud (New Zealand) is now only two months away and we are getting ready with passports and paying deposits. We have decided to have a travel agent do the bookings and it has worked out fairly well priced with all flights, accomodation, car hire and the ferry ride from the North island to the South.

We are spending a lot more time in the North Island this time - because Phil hasn't been there - and last time I went it was just soooooo interesting.

Here is our itinerary:
Fly into Auckland from Australia 5^th October

2 nights Auckland 5+6 Oct

2 nights Bay of Islands 7+8

2 nights Auckland 9+10

1 night Hamilton 11

3 Nights Rotorua 12 , 13, 14

2 nights Taupo 15 + 16

2 Nights Wanganui 17+18

2 nights Wellington 19+20

Ferry over to Picton 21

2 nights Nelson 21+22

2 Nights Hanmer Springs 23+24

2 Nights Christchurch 25+26

2 Nights Lake Takepo 27+28

1 night Christchurch 29

Fly out Christchurch to Australia 30 Oct

Anyway there is not really much to say at the moment - we have paid our airfares and a deposit on the trip and all is going to plan.

I have to find a lot of documents - because I have been married twice nad have had three names - luckily I am not Miss Elizabeth Taylor and been married 7 times - that would be just impossible.

Til next time
