Hi everyone again ....enjoying the blog and i will miss the old routemaster buses - remind a little bit of the anglican church - not quite up to its original function but somehow it keeps going and you gotta love it ....

Paul both islands spectacular - sorry didnt get a chance to call in - passed through hamilton very late on a friday and a sunday ..... but you live in a beautiful country that inspires great spirituality .

Sorry to bore those who havent been here but all i have to say is Milford Sound .....Did an overnight cruise here .......and all you can say literally is MY GOD ........

I think God set up camp here on the seventh day and then forgot to move on ....Of the dozens of countries i have visited have never seen anything so beatiful ...perfect weather , kayaking with dolphins and penguins ....watching seals playing in the early evening calm .... then lying on the roof of the boat in the midst of the sound watching the stars come out one by one ..... then lying under the southern cross and meditating .....its a funny thing this beauty - it makes you pray more ..... still wondering how to create that sense of wonder and beauty in the city ....how to carry it with you ....any ideas ?

Love it .....keep on keeping on and see you all next sunday ...
