Returned

Nothing written as we been overseas (Hong Kong UK Spain Portugal and Morocco) for past couple of months. Great trip and while in HK visited Macau for the first time and found it very interesting and different from HK. Morocco was an enjoyable place - although it is probably amongst the more liberal and democratic Arab states, it is still quite backward in many aspects. Never saw one woman in a burka - they must all live in London!!

Weather, especially in the UK, was good. Expensive of course by NZ standards. The other half took thousands of photos - the beauty of the digital camera.

Rugby - All Blacks - team selected is almost what I would have selected. Pleased to see Nic Evans in as I beleive he is the second best First Five in the country. Wellington Lions - not in same class as Waikato.
