WELL HERE WE ARE IN NZ. IT IS MAR. 7 ? AND WE ARE TOURING THE MID NORTH ISLAND. WE ACTUALLY HAD A CHANGE IN PLANS, WE WERE TO FLY INTO CHRISTCHURCH ON THE 28TH BUT THE FLIGHT WAS CANCELLED SO WE DECIDED TO TOUR THE NORTH ISLAND FIRST. FLEW INTO AUCKLAND AND HOOKED UP WITH TONY AND PHIL WILLOTTS, THE TWO BROTHERS WHO BOUGHT MY 56 CHEVY PICK-UP IN CAL. WE STAYED WITH PHIL ONE NITE AND THEY TOLD US TO GO UP NORTH AND USE THEIR BEACH HOUSE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. WHAT A TREAT, TWO DAYS ALONE ON THE BEACH IN A SECLUDED BAY, WE HAD TO ACTUALLY DRIVE DOWN THE BEACH (AT LOW TIDE) TO GET TO THE HOUSE. THEN OFF TO THE TOP OF NZ WHERE THE TWO OCEANS MEET, COULD HAVE SKIPPED THAT BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW. WELL TIME IS UP WILL WRITE AGAIN LATER, DAN & JOYCE
