I almost fell out of the door from the overheating conference room after a rather energetic effort to release us all into the wonderful sunshine. After dusting myself off I was excited to see the wonderful boathouse lined up along the harbour. The blues of the doors... There is a mystic to the South Island of New Zealand that I have never experienced anywhere else I have travelled in the world.  Every corner and crevice seems to contain a magic that lifts your sense of place in the world.  Even in these modern times you can... As if to punish us for leaving town, the Wellington wind almost blew us off our feet the moment we landed home a couple of days ago. A sharp reminder that for all the wilderness of the South Island Wellington is most definitely wild at heart. After days of empty... Being back in Central Otago was like being reunited with an old friend.  The sort of friend that you strike up conversation as if you had seen them just a short while ago.  The sort of friend that doesn’t concern themselves with the fact it’s actually... It seemed that Queenstown blushed when I lifted the blinds this morning.  Perhaps the sight of me in my PJs was all too much.
