HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL! I LOVE AND MISS YOU. HAVE A SUPER DAY, MY SUPER GIRL! KISS,KISS,KISS!
UPDATE ON OUR JOURNEY: TODAY WE DROVE THE COAST FROM CHRISTCHURCH TO KAIKOURA AND THEN UP TO PICTON WHERE WE ARE STAYING AT A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY PARK (MOTEL). THE COAST LINE WAS UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS. LEAVING CHRISTCHURCH WE PASSED THROUGH WINE COUNTRY BEFORE HITTING THE COAST. IT REMINDED ME OF NAPA. ALONG THE COAST WE SAW A SCHOOL OF DOLPHINS PLAYING AND THEN STOPPED TO PHOTOGRAPH SOME NZ FUR SEALS LAYING ON THE ROCKS ASIDE THE ROAD. RICKY CLIMBED DOWN AND GOT NO MORE THAN 10 FEET FROM ONE TO TAKE SOME PHOTOS. IT WAS WONDERFUL. TOMORROW WE ARE OFF INTO THE HILLS OF THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE SOUND. I WILL DO MY BEST TO CALL HOME. MORE TO COME WHEN WE RETURN FROM THE TREK. LOVE TO ALL.
