South Island Madness

Hey All, (sorry no photo this entry)
Well i am in the south island with Leo's sister and her family. it real quite down here. she lives in a town called Ross and has a population of 300 people. Adam (leo's brother in law) is the police officer for the town. so we are staying in the police house. which is real nice. the office and jail is just off to the side of the house. no one is in the jail. it is not violent down here at all. most of the calls are more of complaints than of violence.
Yesterday we went to see Fox Glacier which it one of the 100 things to do in NZ, so i can check that off my list. I will publish photos when i have my laptop connected to the internet.
Coming down to the south island we took a 1hr20min flight to Christchurch and then a 35 min flight on a 18 seater airplane to Hokitoka which is 20 min outside of Ross. other than the glacier nothing else to exciting has gone on and we have only been here one full today.
Today we are going to cruise the town of hokitoka and then tomorrow we are going to wild foods festival, which has exotic foods to try. Leo sends all her regards. As do i. miss everyone, hope all is well.
Mike
