I’m just back from ten days holidays in New Zealand so I’ve lots of photos to share. Myself and Jacqui had been invited to Graham & Louise’s wedding (photos) one weekend, followed by Danny & Rachel’s wedding (photos) the next weekend, both in the same place in NZ, so we decided to make a holiday out of it with Nathan, Anna, Tiff and Nick.

Apart from the two weddings, we managed to climb Mount Manganui (photos), drive to Waihi Beach (photos) and visit lots of geothermal springs around Rotorua (photos). There are also some random photos that don’t fit in to any of the other categories.

There was mild panic when we first arrived as it was pissing rain and Graham’s wedding was the following day, and was supposed to be held outdoors. We needn’t have worried as NZ turned on the sunshine the next day and it remained on for the rest of our trip. So much for the ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’!

We flew home yesterday afternoon, tanned and tired, only to have some woman get hammered on flight home and refuse to fasten her seat belt and stay in her seat for landing. After much diplomacy, crunch time arrived as we were five minutes from touchdown, so she got handcuffed to her seat at which point she started abusing everyone with a torrent of bad language. She was taken from the plane by medics when we had landed. An eventful end to a great holiday.
