Well, sadly my birthday was spent getting from A to B - one big day's driving and a rather pokey motel room at the end of it! But I DID get to see the biggest Kauri tree in the world (I think). Certainly it is the biggest in NZ and pretty ancient too - at nearly 2000 yrs. Very impressive with a tremendous energy field round it. Pictures will follow one of these days...
The next day too the bus up '90 Mile Beach' (actually only 64 miles long). The bus actually drives along the sand, just above the water line, passing the odd remains of vehicles that didnt quite make it... The drive takes one all the way up to Cape Reinga - the top of NZ - where one can see the Pacific Ocean meeting the Tasman Sea: quite turbulent even on the clear calm day that this was!

Sorry I didn't send an email on your birthday, I was thinking of you though. I love reading your blog, sounds like your having a great time. How much longer will you be away for? Me Dave Annette and Kristina went for a very long walk in the Black Mountain yesterday, the weather and views were glorious, I'll email some pics.
Love Amo
