Living in New Zealand

Well on the 12th of August my wife and I arrived back in my home town of Nelson, New Zealand to be greated by my Mum and daughter, had a nice moment at the airport. My daughter and I caught the airport shuttle with my bikebox and two suitcases, while my wife went with my mum. Meet at my mums apartment and hand a simple lunch of sandwiches. Warmer than I thought it would be considering it is winter here. Had a busy afternoon, took my daughter for a bike ride through town which was a first for her. Got caught in a little bit of drizzle, very light rain, made it back without getting wet.
After a good long nights sleep, first in 3 days, as the flight from London to Nelson is over 24 hours of flying time, phew.
Yesterday I took my wife into town and had a nice lunch at a cafe called Lambrettas, steak sandwich for me and rice risotto for my wife and sweet hot chocalates for both of us. Food is fantastic although at a cost, but $40 is still cheap.
After opened a new bank account and got an Eftpos card, so can get some cash, allways handy.
Had put my bike together in the morning so went out for 2 hour ride in the afternoon, roads where wet and covered in mud, so bike is filthy, nice and mild for riding.
This morning I spent an hour washing bike and know have it sitting in the living room ready for me to go out riding, although the sun is shining so more likely to borrow mums car and go to the beach with my wife.
Must go as lunch is all ready and we have guests.
The riding scene here is very strong so will report on that once I get involved, racing every weekend at the moment.
