Paul,
Thank you for sharing your experience with NZ sun. I spent 18 wonderful months in NZ, never would have left except some legal thing about visas.
Did not paddle down there, took another 25 years before the bug got me. (I was there for the Common Wealth games in 1974),
I am not sure if it is a happy thing or one of the very sad facts of life the those of us who are infected circle the globe.
Thanks for your comments.
