Dear all,
After having had a great time in the Catlins (extreme south), we took a bit of time to enjoy the East coast. Eating proper fishes & seafood, catching myself the famous green lips mussels and cooking them with the Mariniere style (butter, celery, oignon, creme fraiche and white wine), visiting the touching and in construction Christchurch, fishing and trying to get fishes (without success), enjoying some nice short treks, the fur seals & penguins, and getting used to Nicky, which showed once again some strong characters as the front left tyre went flat once...Fortunately, it was only an issue about the valve and we did not have to change it...Furthermore, we spent some nice time with some French and Belgium couples, David & Emilie and Xavier & Sophie...and are now heading to the North, Nelson and Abel Tasman.
