It has recently been pointed out by a number of friends
that I have been doing a particularly poor job of keeping this blog up to date
in 2012. Well spotted and I have no excuse! Here is a quick recap to bring
things up to date.
We spent the first part of 2012 exploring more
of the coastline of northern New Zealand. It has apparently been the
"worst" summer in living memory and I will certainly never take any stick from a
Kiwi again about the climate of the UK but this did not detract too much from
what was wonderful cruise in a country that never ceases to impress
us. At the start of February my mother Pat joined us on the boat for
a week and then we made a great road-trip down around the
South Island.
At the end of February we returned Bamboozle to her
"Kiwi home" in the ever friendly Gulf Harbour
Marina on the Whangaparoa Peninsular just north of Auckland. We
put her to bed for a few months and we have returned to Val d'Isère
in France to take advantage of the back end of what has clearly been a
bonanza snow season right across the
Alps. We have already had a couple of weeks of super skiing and catching up
with old friends.
We fly back to Bamboozle at the beginning of May and
will be heading north towards Fiji as soon as we have filled the lockers with
provisions for the year and the weather forecast looks good.
In the meantime here are a few mountain pictures for a
change!
