Satellite Image


Click on image below to enlarge. Just when you thought we had taken enough photos, we add one from above. This was a fairly difficult shot - I took it as I was skydiving (disregard the Google map reference, not sure how that got in there). Bottom left also shows a distance key. Anyway, our house is circled in red - town is off to the left of the river. I know, we have too much time on our hands but wasn't that the point? One final note, nelson's town slogan is "Live the Day" - cool. Link to the city website: nelsoncity.co.nz has some interesting stuff about our town.

How did the Livvy pickup go?

Looks like there is a Nelson Mountain Biking Club. They got $2500 to build a four cross. (whatever that is)

Livvy pickup went fine - one heck of a drive for us (11 hours) and now we don't want to drive anywhere for some time. We basically just drove to Christchurch, picked her up, then turned right around and went back to Nelson. Sunny in Nelson; wind, snow, sleet in Christchurch - not sure why anyone would live there.

Rich - not sure what that is and not even sure where you found that info but leave it to you to find those kind of details. I did pick up a copy of the long term community plan 2006-2016. we'll see how they implement. I'm still waiting on their 05/06 annual report. Boy, just like work with all this reporting and strategic planning.

Congrats on arriving & setting up housekeeping in NZ! I just got through updating myself on your journey - how exciting! Alec was positively thrilled to be mentioned - feels like a real celebrity - we'll try not to let it got to his head. Bet you were happy to get Livvy. Brian & I were planning out our vacations for the next few years - and it includes you guys in NZ - so get comfortable - we'll be there in a few years! Take care.

Dani
