For those of you who are keeping track, today is the halfway point of our trip. Hard to believe that it’s downhill from here (especially after completing the Milford Track, which somehow seems fitting). We are going to try and upload photos tonight while we sleep, and will apologize in advance for the many, MANY shots of mountains. Someday we will whittle these down, but for now it’s all we can do to just get them up for everyone to see. Thanks for your patience — happy reading!

I’m a friend of Jackie Robbins, who told me great things about your adventures. I’m watching your progres with great interest and more than a little envy.
My daughter, Shane, and her four boys (ages 5 to 11) are living in Dunedin, on the South Island of New Zealand. It is about 6 hours drive south of Christchurch on the eastern coast and the 4th largest city in NZ. If you have time to come our way, we would be most pleased to have you stay with us (if you don’t mind lots of noise and bunking). Dunedin was founded by Scotts and has a wet climate but many wildlife features: endangered yelloweyed penguin, a colony of royal albatross, small blue penguin, etc. If you have time to come our way, please get in touch.
Hope to hear from you. Best of luck and enjoy!

Yeah, we are in Dunedin right now. Wireless access if tough here, but I’ll post an update soon. Also, we didn’t get all the Milford photos uploaded correctly, but will do so as soon as we have better email access. It’s always a challenge.
