Probably the only down side on this tour is the lack of access to the internet. It is not very common to find "wifi" here. We have been able to log on a few times through the goodness of the folks we have stayed with. The shows are going great, but photos will probably have to wait until we can get high speed access next week when we are back in Auckland. Whats most impressive about this country is the unspoiled look of the land. Almost eveything we have seen has been breathtaking. I've been surprised at how mild the weather has been for their "october." We haven't had to have a jacket yet during the day. The shows have been fun. People here in the outlying smaller towns don't get to see live music as a rule....so when they do, it is a big deal. Our friend who is driving us has a tour business and we are riding in the tour bus...I'm talking tourist tour...Its been awesome...we haven't missed any point of interest, but we had to put our foot down yesterday in order to get to the gig in time to set up. You can look for major updates after Easter Sunday when we get back to high speed access. Until then......
