This is in a part of NZ called Fiordland - for obvious reasons. It's at the very bottom of the South Is. Mitre Peak is the point wreathed in cloud. It is a mysterious, magical place - wild and beautiful. Untouched by human activity mostly. Just an outpost at Milford where you catch a boat or helicopter to explore.

Hey - it's good to be back! We would love to have you join us! The other wonderful advantage of your emigration would be you could be an All Blacks supporter!!

hahahahahaha and a black caps cricket supporter.
i think after witnessing the british lions tour last summer i became an all blacks supporter anyway, what a fantastic team you have at the moment!-

I think being a Black Caps supporter might be taking it a bit far - I think that's what you mean't isn't it? :-)
Oh for the days of Hadlee and Crowe and Cairns Snr et al!
But yeah the ABs are the best ever I think- and a great depth of talent in the second-liners too - roll on 07!-

good... morning (i think???)
love cricket, id happily watch them. not as much as i love rugby though.
the current all blacks are totally outstanding, as far as im concerned if the world cup was this year you would walk it without breaking a sweat.
trouble is NZ have a habit of peaking between world cups. we managed to peak just before and during the 2003 one.
we wont discuss anything about englands efforts in this years 6 nations (see my blog for further complaints).-

You are so right about the ABs peaking between world cups. Plus the Aussies say we're chokers - sooooo it's not in the bag guaranteed. Can't assume anything really. But I'm hoping - and it will be at home.
At least you peak at the right time! And you've got a few years to get yourselves together. It will be a great comp!-

well, we cant get much worse at the moment really.
its far from in the bag, 18 months is a long way off. personally i cant see us challenging for it. maybe france because they are hosts will get far, but it wouldnt shock me if the aussies won it. they will still be sore from us beating them hands down in the final in sydney :-)-

Do please beat the Aussies! Next to beating them ourselves we love to see you guys beat em! They are such terrible losers - it's fun to watch!

hahaha - i like your thinking.
we hammered them in 2003 (twice), and if we hadnt bombed 2 tries in the final the scoreboard would have reflected the game better. all that super 12 stuff failed in front of our pack, because at that point (and no offence), you 3 had all forgotten about rucking and mauling.
oh and how we all loved winning the ashes last summer, or rather, how we all loved beating the aussies soundly and also winning the ashes last summer.

hiya - long time no contact.
all of these pictures are totally beautiful, they really are. they make me want to pack it in here and emigrate!
