A few weeks ago I went to New Zealand with my fiancee Isla in order to attend the wedding of her brother Charlie to a New Zealander called Jo. It was a lovely wedding but I never asked for permission to record any of it so I can't bring you any of that which is a shame. On the other hand, some of the recordings I did get were cool and interesting and bring back fond memories of a country I miss already. Firstly you'll here a recording from the back garden of the first place we stayed in Auckland, a peaceful wee place right in the city centre. Next is a recording of the induced eruption of the Lady Knox geyser. Induced yes but no less amazing for it. Our tour of Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland really gets going and Isla, the real star of this show, really hits her stride with some reading from the info scattered throughout the park and her wonderfully evocative descriptions of what we find. All this being said, no description could ever do it justice. If you ever get the chance to go, you won't regret it. Lastly, after a brief interlude to hear the sound of New Zealand traffic lights, Isla then describes what she can see at Takapuna beach back in Auckland. A standard beach? Yes but not quite. I hope you enjoy these recordings. Feel free to respond on here or on my Twitter. I'd like to thank Charlie and Jo for inviting us to their wedding, i'm so grateful I got the chance to go. I'd also like to thank Isla's parents for driving us round New Zealand. That was much appreciated.
