Then to the Coast, great weather

We found a nice beach house to stay on on the coast, complete with BBQ and on occasion cousins to use it

Hi Hope

Hi Scout

Christmas Lunch with the Youngs

Picnic with Warrick and Kids

Thinking hard there Jossi

Sleepovers wit the older cousins - its Caeliah's turn

BBQ Lunch on the deck - perfect

Off to Wellington

After Dunedin we headed to Wellington for a few nights.  Stayed in a great apartment

Jet lag is fading, slowly

We went to the Lego exhibit at Te Papa, and look what we made

Dunedin with the Cousins

So, we thought we that the plane journey was just too short, so we decided to make it a little longer, and as luck would have it Uncle Geoff, Erin, Evelyn, George and Joshua live there.

Day one and no sign of jet lag - well maybe a little

This is not one of the Cousins.  Evelyn's Rabbit, who was huge.  

Time to be the older cousin for a change eh Catherine?

Yum char of course

And an early Christmas day

The cousins got on great.  Thanks Erin and Geoff we had a great time

No cold this Christmas for us

Every two years we get to go home for Christmas, its a long way

There's a lot of waiting! Geneva to Rome to Hong Kong to Auckland to Dunedin

Definitely not complaining about the seat though!

FINALLY!

Christmas is coming

Finally, its Christmas.  Even some snow to start of December.

The place it looking more Christmas-like as well

Decorations on the local Maree

Forests growing everywhere
