Early morning to work....not all bad...

 
Bob certainly thinks Spring has arrived....

 
On a walk from Sandy Bay. The sky is sooo blue and clear.

 
Looking a bit like Spring back on Waiheke.

 
And the ultimate view across to Queenstown and the lake. Which was a bit of a climb..

 

 

 
Remarkables is small ski area but great fun.

 
Ski in the Remarkables...

 

 

 
Going up the Gondala ride...

 
View of the mountains from our Quenstown place...

 

More Queenstown. Spending Birthday in a place other than work!

Recent Queenstown trip as good as ever. Lots more snow.

 

 
To the very last day and last photo. Basil now gone peacefully to the big beach in the sky. 06 May 2011, Waiheke Island, New Zealand.

 
and occasional burst of energy...

 
retirement!

 
Slowing down a bit...

 
Sick Boy.

 
Its all in the eyes...

 
Trying to swim a bit...

 
Always waiting!
