Auckland 31st March

2007-03-31T19:17:00.000+12:00

Arrived in Auckland 2 days ago after being stuck in a traffic hold up coming in for over 2 hours. I thought there was only one M25 !!!
I am going to the racecourse tomorrow not for horse racing but for a car sales fair to sell my car. I only have 5 nights after that before flying onto San Francisco.
I am now preparing to go back to my home England.
I hope all my family are doing well

Please note I am having big problems with my email. Please let everyone know that might contact me that I can not read most of my mails and it will not let me reply to any. If anyone wants to contact me my New Zealand number is 0064(code for NZ I think) 021461213
I have spent my 3rd day in Nelson and I move onto Picton tomorrow and catch the ferry to the North Island Wednesday into Wellington. The Lord is really opening up the way before me and I am meeting so many nice and freindly people. The journey so far has been amazing and so beautiful. This is a place that must be seen in your lifetime at least once!!! This PC does not have a USB connection and I remembered to bring my Memory stick with pictures on ...BAH!

Thursday 1st March Queenstown NZ

2007-03-01T21:53:00.000+13:00

Wow what a country..it is so awesome...
This is the second time I have been to Queenstown as I left last Sat. 25th as I was invited to a horse race meeting in Invercargill (south of the South) After a warm welcome I was interviewed by the Compare over the racecourse loudspeaker system, then by the local newspaper reporter who published it on Tuesday.....felt like the old days when I was riding winners :-) Off to another race day this Sunday in Cromwell.
I will try and download some pictures when I can decide which ones to show....so many good ones!!!
Did the Milford Sounds boat trip on Tuesday...what amazing waterfalls and scenery.
Yesterday did the back end of the Kepler trail another adventure.
I am struggling to keep this blog up as I bought a car and have been doing quite a few Km on these clear smooth roads. Had to keep stopping to take pictures though.
God bless to all that are praying and taking the time to read this
