Steven and Michelle's visit March 2009

My friend Steven who I met on my first trip in New Zealand in the 1980's lives in Auckland with his family Michele, Luke and Eve. They flew down for a weekend and stayed with us and here we are on a trip across the harbour to Day's Bay.

You will never believe what I did. I still can't beleive it myself! I went paragliding in Queenstown, NZ - the excitment capital of the world, or maybe the southern hemisphere. Okay, the south island.- Rebecca

(accually its better then gold, its chocolate!) and we have hannah on the left with her amazing prize!!- signing off now, look in later issues for more, Rebecca
