Look, see, I've already managed to add a pretty picture to the title. That's the snow covered mountains at Kaikoura where they come down to meet the sea- a stunning place- genuinely breathtaking. Nat and I went there when we visited NZ before, and got up before dawn so we could go and watch the sunrise from the seal colony.
The picture in the title was taken that morning, and the colours are for real. I took a series of pictures, just hand-holding the camera and panning across the horizon, then stitched them together on the PC at home, but that's all the editing that was done.
It would be an amazing place to live, with the sea and the mountains and the seals and whales, but it's in the South island so a bit nippy. We're planning on being the Northern end of the North island, around Auckland, where even the middle of winter is relatively mild. Still, there are plenty of beatiful places to visit in the North island too, so hopefully we'll be making the most of it and getting out and about a bit, which will give us lots to write about on here.
