Well, sorry to leave you for a couple of days but had no internet access. Our group was split up into hikers, bicyclists, and kayakers. Anne and I were in the bicycling group. We stayed and a wonderful bed and breakfast--a couple of pictures are of the group and the grounds around the B&B (the fern). The other two are pics of the bicycle trips. We are are the northwest side of the South Island, which is a series of Sounds. The Maori story of it is a warrior fighting with a giant Octopus that grabbed land as it finally died and sunk into the water. Hope I can connect again soon.
