You know you're in NZ when...






Hills are actually old volcanoes (or new!), cell phones are mobiles, coffees are ordered flat white or short black, cottages are called bachs (don't ask me...), public school kids all wear uniforms, which are evidently designed by people who hate children or who are victims of 'ugly-uniform syndrome' themselves, and my name is Keerthy.

Beautiful beach day today on an island just outside of Auckland harbor called Waiheke. More vineyards than you can count and beautiful beaches, although a recent cyclone flung thousands of horse mussels onto the beach. They've had to cancel the annual horse races which were to be run next week because of the piles of these 6-inch-long bivalves.

Tomorrow I'm sampling Zumba, NZ-style and Sun. it's dirt-biking on the beach. Help!

Cheers - Kath
