Austria with Steph (Salzberg)

I love Salzberg - what a fantastic little city! Steph and I had a great time seeing the sights - and who could resist the Sound of Music tour :) The scenery was obviously quite different in the middle of winter though! We took in all the Christmas markets, ate our way through Goulash and Apple Strudel and had a fantastic couple of days here. We also found a brilliant beer hall to while away a few hours.....

Mt Holdsworth

A brilliant day out with Dean walking up the 1500 metres to Mount Holdsworth. It was pretty tough going in places for my little legs but well worth it at the top. We were rewarded with absolutely amazing views from Powell Hutt out over the Tararua Range, Wairarapa farmland, and even through to Wellington city.

We started a little late in the day so it was a pretty swift descent before the dark set in, rounded off by some well deserved Cookie Times :)

Golf trip to Central Otago

Welcome to the summary of the 2004 golf tour taking in courses at Cromwell, Wanaka, Millbrook and Kelvin Heights. For the record I think I may have won thanks to a generous handicap - for my aftermatch speech, I'd like to thank Speights, the official sponsor of the tour.

Conditions were perfect for low scoring at the picturesque Wanaka Golf Club:
