Gone traveling,
Back shortly.A Travel Journal by Scott Hargroves & Heather Noonan

The night has closed in, here in Napier. The Heavens have opened and some of the only rain we have seen this whole trip is now falling on the parched earth around Hawkes Bay.

We have just returned from a family meal at a Turkish Restaurant in Napier town where all my family had ventured to see us off. We still have two days left in New Zealand, but are leaving Napier in the morning for Auckland. The main reason for this that we have yet to go to Hobbiton in Matamata and would like to get there before leaving, which means going a day early as the drive to the airport can take a good 6 hours with a couple of stops along the way.

We haven’t done much since the last update really, other than hang out with my family and walk around the Estuary like a million times. Its really nice down there on an evening. So this is just a little update to say that we are uploading all the photos we have missed and ones from the last few days. The are uploading as we speak onto flickr and should be dragged in to the site once the are done.

Thanks for reading so far. Hopefully we will have at least one from Japan if they have the internets there these days, if not then we will see you all back in Enklant.

I will leave you with a selection of clips taken at Milford Sound. It is the epitome of New Zealand. Enjoy.

This is pretty much it from Aotearoa. See you in Tokyo.

    Nice cinematography there Scott.
    Looking forward to hearing all these stories – and more – face to (tanned) face.

    Try not to get lost in translation!
