Here is an excerpt from a tourism brochure about Tahiti. I'm thinking that people in Aotearoa may not have been so keen about the economic benefits of nuclear testing in the South Pacific...

Well, I found some gloves in my basement. Hopefully they are better than the gardening glove I've been wearing this week for biking around in a Canadian winter.

Here's another submission I made, this time on the NZ Regulatory Standards Bill. Also bad! #NZpol

Just flew back to Aotearoa from Papeete (French Polynesia). It was below 20°C today in the middle of summer. What would the great explorer Kupe have thought about this weather‽

Finally, a day from the Remutaka Cycle Trail from Upper Hutt to Featherston, a town with a surprising number of bookstores (I counted 3). Also the rainbow presages the rainstorm that we avoided by taking the bus with our bikes back when we could. #alpaca #remutakas

Still some more pictures! Here are pictures of Aoraki etc from Mueller Hut. There was a bunch of learning about how to take night photos with the a6600 and getting it to focus, while it was near freezing. #tramping #hut
