For the last two weeks we've had the pleasure of a visit from our good friends from San Diego, the Beckhelms. Terry and Mary joined us for some Rn'R in the North Island at the Bay of Islands while staying at a Bn'B in Keri Keri. Is that enough repetitive syllables for you? We then travelled back to Christchurch we picked up Lynn's Mom and our house guest Katie and left the next day for the Catlins in the south part of the South Island. Terry and Mary brought the warm sunny skies of San Diego with them since we had spectacular clear weather for our tour of the Catlins. The sights were many - the milky way at night, yellow eyed penguins, fur seals, a petrified forest on the beach, waterfalls, magnificent Cathedral Caves on the beach, forests, trails, and strange spherical Moeraki Boulders.
