I do love these outdoors!

After working straight through Christmas and New Years only taking Christmas Day and the 2nd off I broke away for a tramp (that's Kiwi for a hike) in the Tararuas, a mountain range just north of Wellington.

Despite "the worst summer in recorded history" according to the front page last week - we had some pretty damn fine weather. Of course the 120 KPH / 70 MPH winds on top of Jumbo peak was my favorite for the excitement ;-)

Christmas Day Fun

Went to a party that lasted until 3 - nothing like playing with a bunch of expats all day from a house with a view!
