Pauli, Olivia, Jim and Stephen headed to Christchurch and stayed with Robyn and Zolie for a couple of nights. We then hit the road and drove through Arthurs Pass and then to Lewis where we stayed at Mauria Springs. An interesting joint nestled in the mountains and now run by some Japanese folks. We visited Paulis' old pal Kim in Blenheim and ferried to Wellington. We then hung out in and around Auckland for some days whilst Pauli caught up with friends and Olivia caught up with her Dad. We drove to Northland.
