There are many, many photos on PB. Some have been duplicated and await my deletion when I find out how to do it without losing the whole file of each.
Anyway for those with time to look(and the inclination) here are the links,

Gosh.. so beautiful. Some of those photos look too “postcard perfect” to be true!!

I’d forgotten how gorgeous NZ can be.

Beautiful! I see it was a tour – would you recommend it to others? How long was it for? Over both islands it would have had to have been 3 to 4 weeks?

I was in and around Nelson (North end of the South Island) for 3 months at the end of last year. A beautiful country and I’m looking forward to getting back there. I love how the soil is so fertile and there is so much rain – I got a real shock now I am back in Perth and it is a record dry spell….

Hi Nighteyes,
The tour was for 3 weeks and I certainly would recommend it to others. I went with a local “one man band” company, so all the others came from my area. We had a 42 seater coach and 34 people so extra seats were available if anyone wanted to move. We were all retirees and usually we left hotels at 9am and booked in to the next one at 5pm. Not tiring at all. I’m sure there would be other companies which would offer similar conditions.

Sounds great, I’ll start planning now I think….
