Passport back and some sunny pictures

After I dropped off my passport in Wellington I received it back together with a new passport within two weeks, which is pretty quick in my opinion. Luckily I could just send those to the NZ Immigration Office for transfer of my visa, so that was easy. Now I am in the possession of a nice new passport valid for another 5 years. Not that I need it, because I am not planning of travelling anywhere outside of NZ and not even outside of the South Island.

When we woke up this morning the sun was already shining and it looks like it would be a beautiful day. This is quite common in Blenheim, since we have a great micro-climate here, with lots of sun and little rain – especially compared to most of the rest of the country. So, after a good breakfast we decided to go for another tramp again. This time it took us to Rarangi, Whites Bay and Port Underwood which is on the coast in between Blenheim and Picton. The pictures will show some of the nice views we had on the way. It was quite hilly and slippery at times, but it was all worth the effort. After our 3.5 hours tramping we were back at the car and travelled via beautiful Port Underwood Road to Picton. Here we had a well deserved, very late lunch and an even better tasting beer. Sitting in the sunshine on a terrace overlooking the sea…….. life is good!

At home I was lucky – my flatmate was eager to try to bake some pizza himself. Yammmiiieee!!!

Cheers,
