Kia Ora! Our sojourn Down Under continues! We've been in New Zealand for over a year now (we arrived January 29th, 2020!). NZ Immigration has been remarkably kind to those of us caught away from home in a post-pandemic world. Our travel plans have continued to morph as we get one visa extension after another! We got to Raglan, on the western coast of the North Island, in July, 2020, with expectations that we might have to leave in September. We then got an extension to the end of February, 2021. That allowed us to plan trips to the Taranaki region, Wellington, and across the Cook Strait (for the 3rd time!) to Dunedin and Queenstown. We now have a further extension to the end of April (as I write this, we're in Queenstown on the South Island), with the distinct possibility of an additional 6-month visa that would take us to October. Wow! So, I'm working to get caught up on photos from our last few months. We've been traipsing all over these islands, just agog at the beauty and energy of New Zealand and its people. We're constantly astounded at the gems hidden all over the landscape as we wander the country. For pictures and commentary on our three glorious months in Raglan and the Waikato region of the North Island, visit here: Waikato. Here, some photos to act as an appetizer for our time in the Taranaki area, Wellington, and Dunedin. Cindy also has several albums of photos on her Facebook page (if you have Facebook). More to follow! Stay healthy, enjoy each moment, and have a magnificent 2021!
