It's raining right now. It's the first lousy weather we have had since coming to New Zealand. We are in a small town called Reefton and yesterday an explosion at the Pike River Coal Mine has caused 29 miners to be trapped. There is television all over the place here. We are laying low until the weather settles down. That may take 3 days. We need a break from our hippie van anyways and the sandflies. My ankles are one big sandfly bit. We are missing our friends and family right now. We hope to explore some of the west coast in the upcoming days once the weather settles down. We have caught some browns here and there. The fishing is challenging. Sight fishing and an accurate first cast may get you a hook up. Stay warm, it was 27C here yesterday.
We miss you lots. Enjoy the rain though...it's been in the -20C the last few days. Darn cold and more snow and cold coming. :P Hope your weather clears up and the miners get out. :) Love you!!!
