A post from New Zealand

It's been a while since my last post... but I've come by this absence honestly as I'm in New Zealand right now and haven't been on the internet for a while.

Quick summary - everything well here and having a great time although Karina and I have a lot of ground yet to cover. I'm composing this message in Rotorua - tomorrow we're eventually headed to New Plymouth and some surfing for Monday morning. As I have a ridiculous amount of memory for my e-bay sourced digital camera, I've been taking pictures with abandon. Who knows if they'll ever really be viewed. I have a few videos of our dolphin experience in the Bay of Islands. I have also been learning about New Zealand red wines on this trip - they exist and are quite good! I'll be trying to bring a bottle of Cottle Hill Cabernet Sauvignon home.
Matthew seems in good spirits. Got to go!
