New Zealand, November 2007 by Mark Sukhija

Sadly we had to leave New Zealand today. We're flying back to Zürich and back to work. It's a sad fact of life that somehow this galavanting has to be paid for.

For me the highlights of the time in New Zealand were seeing the Blue Penguins in Oamaru, the wine tour of Central Otago with Appellation Central and seeing the White Heron Sanctuary at Whataroa.
