It's Nov 12 (Nov 11 back in North America) and Remembrance Day came and went here, seemingly without notice. I guess it's not a date observed here.
We're just passing through Greytown which is about 80 km north of Wellington. We stopped here mostly because Catherine wanted to look for a particular shop (chocolate, would you believe??) and so she's out looking for it. I took the wee computer and went looking for likely prospects for Internet connections and immediately found one at the town Library. Let's hear it for Libraries!! Actually, this wireless connection is provided courtesy of some area "people's network". All I can say is NZ needs WAY more of this.
I'm getting caught up on bills, e-mail, blogs and picture uploading.
We'll be in Wellington today, probably later this afternoon, and likely will sail to the South Island tomorrow - I think that's Friday, although I've somewhat lost track of what day of the week it is. Not that it really matters!!
The South Island is supposed to be WAY different and we're anticipating some stellar scenery. The North Island has had some superb beaches and seacoast, but more about that later on.

If one turned the radio or TV in Canada on November 11th, we had it 24/7. We put up with it so New Zealand didn't have to.
They must not have troops "in harm's way"..to coin an expression from somewhere.
Still following your pics..
