Today is actually April 24, 2011 - Easter Sunday. Leave it to my tech skills that it says it is the day before........It has been well over a month since my last blog. In that time Ruby and I have travelled the North Island of New Zealand, took the interislander ferry from Wellington to Picton and drove down the beautiful West coast of the South island and through Wanaka and now Dunedin, where we spent the last week. And yes! There is an Easter Bunny who came to visit us this morning! Though it is Fall here and not the usual Spring Easter, it is probably warmer than a Kodiak Easter. It is absolutely beautiful here on the South Island. West coast especially! I love the cabbage trees and the flax grass and of course, the ferns - they are huge and green, and lush.
The playgrounds are amazing here. They have things I have never seen in the states, and I'm quite sure its due to the liability in the states.
The towns we've stayed at have been: Raglan; Rotorua; Taupo; Wellington; Picton; Nelson; Hokitika; Wanaca; and finally Dunedin. We are here for less than a week and so plan to leave early tomo morning and start driving north to Picton, back on the interislander ferry and then up to Auckland. Then, on to Cairns, Australia!
So ironic how easter here is in the fall. Still, 'tis a time for rebirthing as old things are put aside let go of, and we enter a new season!
Happy easter, and happy rebirthing, and letting go. Welcome the new, allow the old things to become new again. ~ Namaste All ~ and Peace on earth
