Despite the lack of updates, life hasn't stopped down here, quite the opposite actually!
New Zealand is heading towards wintertime and now you may ask me: "Why don't you just say fall?" - Well New Zealand doesn't really have 'fall'. The term describes what happens in that period of time, the leaves fall from the trees. New Zealand however, feature mainly evergreens, meaning that the trees here don't drop their leaves. They do replace their leaves, most often by growing taller and sacrificing the lower leaves to make new ones that are higher up and can get more sun.
So now the weather is more like the Danish, we have days with heaps of sun and no wind, and we have days with with and rain. So while people keep telling me the weather is awful here, I can only shrug and say: "Just like home!".
This past weekend, which I'll describe in detail in the next post with pictures and so forth, Gigi came to visit me here in Wellington where we went tramping in Otaki Forks!
