Jenna: We have a lot to update and not a lot of time! So here are some quick pictures from the last three weeks...
Our room at the resort... not too shabby! We live in the 'studios', we have our own bedroom but share a bathroom with two other couples.
View from our room...
Rob was the champion skeet shooter on our staff boat trip. Won us a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc! I knew growing up on a farm would come in handy on this trip.
'Bellbird' - Staff house at the resort where some people live (not us). Bottom floor is our shared living room/kitchen area.
Rob powerwashing the balcony roof of a guest room.

We've been working hard the last three weeks and got five days off as a pre-holiday vacation. We drove six hours south to Christchurch (the largest city on the South Island) to see the sights and see Pearl Jam play the last show of their tour. It was a fantastic show - Ben Harper and Relentless7 opened, as well as Kiwi musician Liam Finn. We also visited the Christchurch Art Gallery, Ernest Rutherford Museum, took a Gondola ride overlooking the area and made a quick stop at the thermal pools in Hanmer Springs. Here a few pics, but you can check out more at http://picasaweb.google.com/jenna.pitts/Travels2009November?authkey=Gv1sRgCJvGyv3M0_L_EQ&feat=directlink
