Apologies to my Christchurch friends but I HAVE to gloat! This is where I am. Understandably, winter in the deep south seems a long way away! But, as that thoroughly thrashed cliche goes, 'someone's gotta do it.' www.explorenz.co.nz

Who could blame our overseas friends for falling in love with New Zealand when this is what they have to endure? The Bay of Islands may seem 'touristy' to some, but get away from the towns and out on to the water and you discover the real beauty that makes this place so enduringly popular. It may be mid-winter - and okay, the sun may not be shining QUITE this brightly today - but there's a lot to be said for Northern warmth - and On the Edge makes it all so easy! www.explorenz.co.nz
