Two of the best things about NZ so far are the two people in this picture with yasu: Den and Sue Anderson.  They own the "little" house we're staying in and the big one next door where they live.  They have been so friendly, helpful, generous and gracious from the moment we met them Monday morning.  They took us on a hike (they'd call it a walk, but it was definitely a hike) that same day to Ti Point.  Pics to follow...
