Mere Kirihimete! (Maori: Merry Christmas!). After 4 office Christmas parties (one hosted by the Auditor General, one hosted by the performance audit group (my office), one hosted jointly with the financial auditors, and another one hosted by my office), I needed a vacation!
Fortunately the city of Wellington shuts down for a month at Christmastime, so I went to New Zealand's South Island with Teki and some visiting friends from Hong Kong.
We flew into Dunedin (Otago), a college town with a few nice pinot noirs, and drove a large loop through St. Bathan's (limestone quarry), Queenstown (where adrenaline flows 24/7), Milford Sound (quite possibly the most dramatic landscape in New Zealand), Invercargill (Southernmost city) and the Catlins (coastal drive). Next few entries will cover the trip....
