Now I know why I am still excited 5 years on about being here. There is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much to look forward to!!! Why live anywhere else?????????? Yes, I know we have manifold problems but what a beautiful country aye to have all those problems in?

Yes the problems don't seem half as bad when you look at them through the wonderful scenery. I would rather cope with problems here than back home cause when you look at what was created here they seem so insignificant sometimes eh!

Big thanks for that link :thumbsup:

Our friends son was in the clip of the rugby game in the shadow of Mt Ruapehu. Bit of a story behind that clip and it was a result of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy filming in the area. Stroke of luck you finding that link we forgot all about what it was being filmed for.

I love seeing the faces of Tourists and visitors to this country when they see some of the marvels that I sometimes take for granted. There are days when I am at work on a hillside somewhere and take a look around me or driving somewhere, when I pause to think how damn lucky we are to live in such a beautiful country and yes those problems just drift away.

I was lucky enough to stay in Lake Tekapo on a number of occassions while hubby was managing the building process of the new Blue Water Resort, he had a house from Mon to Fri and came home weekends but sometimes I went down for a few days. I could do with another trip back there to sample the new hot pools..... now my birthday is coming up so maybe a weekend away is in order......!!!!
