Unbelievable..... it looks lovely, and here in the UK it is freezing cold, and gray. Enjoy it while you can, we want the sun back :-//

Thanks for the well wishes, you too Margie.

@Calusarus: It's awful but someone has to do it.

You people have a little bit of everything in your land. The beaches are just as impressive as the snow-covered mountains and green forests of New Zealand. What a way to spend the new year.

Great photo, by the way.

@Luis A. De Jesus R.: Well I am slightly (?!) prejudiced but I think we are a bit spoilt here. :)
It was a magical day, just perfect. Thanks for your comment!
