A few photos, starting with the Beehive with the flag flying at half mast on this sad week due to the Christchurch earthquake:
Last weekend, I was off to do the Tongariro Crossing with some good friends. It's an amazing if occasionally gruelling traverse, and while the descent was a bit tedious, I am definitely contemplating doing it again - a bit slower perhaps, to allow for more photos around the lakes and perhaps a side trip.
And finally a photo from Wellington (well, Petone actually) to show how it can't be beaten on a good day.
And as a total aside, a big THANK YOU to Triangle Stratos for now broadcasting on Freeview terrestrial, especially as it means I now have access to Al Jazeera English (when it is on), featuring a complete blast from the past reporting from the Middle East, Anita McNaught.
Verdict: Well, some pluses but a pretty big minus in the last week or so. All the best to those in Christchurch. A rating of much, much sadness.
