*Sigh* There's no way I am going to load up all my NZ photos on here after organizing them so nicely on my Picasa site. Check them out there. There are several albums, one for each major region.
Karin was there for two weeks, and I for three. Our primary reason for the trip was to activate our residence visas, which would have otherwise expired in October. The secondary reason was to look for work, which in the current state of the global economy wasn’t very promising. In the end, our tertiary reason dominated – to go on holiday.
I caught myself getting extremely wordy here, and decided to scrap it all and let the photos do most of the storytelling. I've made a number of comments on photos along with the labels, and you are also welcome to ask questions. Otherwise I'll shut up now and let you peruse.

OK, so I can't shut up for long. I realized that I had some videos that don't fit into the Picasa scheme. I've given up (for now) trying to rotate them. Sorry for any kinked necks they might engender.
In the Waikato folder, I semi-document the Move to NZ forum's Hamilton party. Dawn is a wild thang, as evidenced by this video of her trying to embarass Jay:
In the same folder there are photos of a magpie on our jaunt to Yarndley Bush. He must have been defending his territory, because he kept swooping down on us. Here's a video of that bird. Note the Cylon raider-like sound his wings make at the bottom of the swoop.
