Holiday Road Trip

I'm just back in Dunedin after visiting family and holidaying in Nelson and the Kapiti Coast. Things which stood out on my travels:
  • The thriving crops and green grass throughout the South Island. It is a most productive Season.
  • The traffic-jams on the Kapiti Coast: "Stuck in the traffic in Paraparaumu". The loss in productivity from inadequate highways is enormous. Let's hope that the new Government's infrastructure spending will help.
  • The beauty of the Lewis Pass, Nelson, Golden Bay and the Marlborough Sounds.
  • A renewed appreciation of Dunedin: the hills, the Harbour and the fine sands and fine dining at St Clair beach. If only it was just a little warmer.
