Back in NZ

The flights were smooth and pretty uneventful. I got on well with the Northern English couples on their way to New Zealand for a whistle-stop tour (although one day for Wellington including a trip to the Beehive suggests they might not want to return here). Watched several films including the rather fun Balls of Fury (about ping pong) the good but unpleasant War, the funny and violent Shoot 'Em Up and the slightly disappointing but often excellent Death at Funeral. Rush Hour 3 I started to watch, but it was too terrible for words (especially after having just been to China). The Dark is Rising is supposedly based on one of my favourites book sets as a kid, but it didn't appear to have much in common. Confusing and not much cop.

So I guess you'll all be wanting pictures of Carterton then?
