Paint Party, hutts, treks, riding, rugby, swimming... stuff you do in New Zealands winter :-)


Swimming in winter...it was a nice day but still the water was freezing!!!


Hello you lovely, lovely people out there in the warm and sunny part of the world but and of course to all those who are "enjoying" the drizzly weather on the other half... :-) Its the end of July and I do not have much longer until my time in New Zealand is over. Weird feeling but I am getting ready.:-) As the deep winter is making days cold, grey and cold... I am just really looking forward to at least a few sunny days back home. Glen and I are however making the best of the last weeks together. It was our 6 month anniversary on 3 July and we planned a long weekend in Taranaki, visiting his Mom and sleeping in a hutt on a mountain. Then we went to a paint party, went swimming in the ocean at freezing temperatures, etc. So, here again a little update from my last few weeks! Today is Monday, 27 July and I have 6 more working days in Wellington, 2 more days working from home, a few things to sell that unfortunately are too heavy or bulky to take back home and... also... a few more calories to burn for my fundraising challenge for Unicef. I am at approx. 22000, so not that many more to go :-) If you want more information on my fundraiser, just click on the image on the top right corner. So... hugs and kisses from New Zealand and to some of you out there... See you very very soon :-) Lisa

Before going to the paint party... as you can see nice and white and clean :-)
