NEW ZEALAND

Special thanks for these pictures to Russell Doano.

"A ponderous Boss, with panorama of Auckland behind."

"Aye aye Skipper !"  On the lookout for pirates in Auckland ha-haaarrrbour."

"Boss, once again dithering when confronted by a dark, damp, open hole. In this case a lava tube, on the volcanic Rangitoto Island, Auckland bay."

You've heard of "snorting a line" - witness Boss snorting a large section of coast-line, on the other side of Nelson bay. Within seconds the whole horizon resembled the section just to the right of his head. The Abel Tasman National Park Authority were not amused.
