Stardate 20110604 (4th June) : Spent the last week planning it - and booked the flights. So we're leaving London Heathrow on the 19th of November, and heading off, via Singapore, to North Island. Long debate about whether to break at Hong Kong, but it added a bit to the flight costs, and shortened the purpose of the holiday, so we haven't. It's straight there.
Still got a few places to book, and a few other things to sort out. But it's all looking rather smart. The general plan is
** Landscapes
** Animals
** Wilderness
** Bit of walking.
The walking will be all rather tame, though. But we have avoided those ghastly guided tours round animal sanctuaries (I hope!)
