After over a month in New Zealand and long, warm sunny days I have (sadly) returned to the UK with traditional rain and coldish temperatures.
I have a great many photographs of what is an amazing country and the whole experience will stay with me for the rest of my life.
My next adventure, after receiving my new F3S, will be Spyderfest in April/May.

I have to ask cause I'm really curious. You're in the UK and Spyderfest is in Missouri. Are you going to rent a Spyder once you're in the US? Or how are you going to get your F3 here?

My wife and I are fortunate to have visited NZ twice. First time in 1989 and again in 2009. We have friends that moved there in 1987 and live near Wellington. We also have friends that live near the Coromandel Peninsula. We prefer the South Island because of the natural beauty. Love the Christchurch area but we know the earthquake a few years ago really hurt the city.

Happy to hear that it was all that you hoped it would be.
