New Zealand.

So after touching down in NZ at some unforsaken time in the morning, Alison (Mairi's 2nd cousin) very kindly picked us up and took us round to Ian's house where we were going to stay for the next week or so. Our timing was less than ideal as they had a garage sale on and it was all hands to manning the stalls.
