Sarah and I headed to my parents crib (holiday house) in Toko Mouth for the night, before heading south to the Catlins for some site seeing.
This photo was taken on top of the sand hill behind the crib
This photo was taken near Purakanui falls in the Catlins the next day.
More photos from the Catlins coming soon …
Julia Rinck who I met in Germany last year came to visit our lab for four months. I picked her up in Christchurch and on the way back we visited the Baby Blue penguin colony in Oamaru. It was quite late before they came ashore and we weren’t allowed very close, so unfortunately the photos are barely visible.
A week later we headed to the top of Mount Cargill to see the city, but in typical Dunedin style a cloud came through and blocked the view 🙁
Victoria Argyle and I visited Suzanna and Cory Black in Leiden in the Netherlands.

Vicki and I used Amsterdam as our base for moving around Europe. They have lots of canals … lots of canals.
Apparently this is what people resort to when stuck in Europe with me for a whole month!
Smoking from a huka.
I tried it too but I don't recommend it. It's kinda icky. Caffeine is still my drug of choice.
Insanity kicks in after a while and they start believing anything they're told. Frederick convinced Vicki that kissing the arse of the solider brought good luck.
Two bad photos in a row, so I thought I'd better include a nice one 🙂
