ello, am back with the tiger picture again. Am at my aunt's house in Wanganui, Aunt Lorraine and Uncle John. Don't think i told you about my customs experience. On entry into NZ, it took 1 hour to get through Immergation, 1 hour to be asked if I had any fruit or plants in my bags, and then 1 hour to be quizzed and bag search by a customs officer! Cos I was a guy, on my own and having just arrived from Bangkok, they thought I was a drug-smuggler! They even threaten to strip-search me! Anyhow, i held my nerve and i think they soon realised i wasn't one. Have booked a organised tour around the South Island starting Monday, so will stay in Wanganui until Sunday, when i fly, again, from Wellington to Christchurch (not the one in Dorset). Hope all is well back home. D
