Iain's broken up for the end of term holidays, so we're setting off today on our trip around North Island. This morning dawned sunny and bright after 72 hours of more or less incessant rain, so it feels like a good time to be off.
You may be wondering how we got the photos of the flat seeing as our camera is broken. Well, we didn't sit looking at the piggy bank for long before going out and buying a new camera (a digital SLR). We were both into photography as teenagers and we really fancy taking it up again as a hobby together, hence the more 'serious' camera. We were feeling frustrated by the fact that the 'happy snaps' we took with our old camera weren't capturing how gorgeous New Zealand is.
So now our journey has an extra dimension. As well as being a holdiay and a chance to scout out possible places to live, it's also a photography field trip. Iain's off buying milk for breakfast, and I'm supposed to be getting ready, so I'd better go now! Catch you later.
