Posting from the Te Nikau Retreat, about 3km north of Punakaiki. The iBook is connected to iHug at 16,800 bps, via some sort of radio-based phone connection. I don't think I've been online at speeds like this since 1993... But the driving scenery here is some of the best in the world, up there with Highway 1 imho. Pictures from the last time through are here. And of course, I've been taking lots more pictures this time 'round. They'll be online once I get to Nelson next week.
