O boy, Belinda, what a catch, armed police in your yard. I didn't realise NZ was SO like the UK!

Hi Thomas, yes thomas You still planning to visit NZ, its a very nice,place really and its the first time those people have dropped by and next time i'll tell them to use the gate instead of climbing the fence.  belinda Hi Belinda! Yes, my sister and I still plan to go to NZ. We alredy have our tickets for the flight, we have booked the rental car and we have a few hotels. We haven't booked hotels for every night so far because we don't know at which place we'd like to stay for how long. We'll see when we are there. It's off-season anyway, we arrive in Christchurch on 17th February so the summer vacation is over and the tourist spots shouldn't be overcrowded. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifThanks to Rodders I know now that we have to look for red busses when we arrive at the airport. You always learn something new being a member of HWI. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBy the way, nice desktop background! Very unique.  Thomas |

Hi Thomas, Yes there is a red bus from the airport too about $8 i think. we do have other coloured buses as well, which all get you places round christchurch. Some buses are covered in advertising eg cadbury chocolates giant pictures of chocolate (yum) there are also white ones and purple ones have a look in the NZ fan gathering group theres lots info on Christchurch etc and the buses, open membership at present. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifgroups.msn.com/NewZealandFanGatheringEg theres a mini van that is $5 that takes you from the airport to where your staying which is alot better than paying $20 in a taxi. I'll be putting info about other places as well eventually You can be the advance HWi scout and report on what you liked and disliked about NZ,if you have time while your in Christchurch you may like to drop by and see my Hayley collection i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifopps i'm off topic Nice photo's everyone Belinda Belinda |

Hi Belinda, Belinda! Just like NY - so good they named her twice! Some buses are covered in advertising eg cadbury chocolates giant pictures of chocolate (yum) Actually, I heard that Belinda has been known to let five buses go by before one she can catch one with chocolate on!  Roger |

Hey Joe! Those are great photos! The first one can make you dizzy if you look at it for too long! haha. The second one has exquisite detail. How many bees did you have buzzing around? Perhaps 10 or so? <3 Caite |

This should have been part of the Cadogan Revisited thread as these guys were my reason for missing Hayley's arrival at Cadogan Hall.  These were members of "Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo", here performing Raymonda's Wedding on Saturday 23rd September at the Peacock Theatre.  And here two members of the troupe outside the Peacock stage door after they had removed their tutus. The Trocks are an all-male dance troupe with incredible dancing ability ("dancing en pointe without falling flat on their faces"). Knowing Hayley's former life as a ballerina (and her sense of humour), I thought that she would appreciate this post (and I forgot to ask her on Saturday if she had ever seen The Trocks). You don't have to be gay to watch them, all that you need is a sense of humour! So Peter, We had the Ballet and the Circus on the same day and both performances included men in dresses! |

I really admire all men dance troupes. I know how hard pointe is for women who are "meant" to dance it (I take it every other day at the very least!) but then for men to! Wow!
I can't remember who it was that came to Minneapolis and performed in the same venue as Hayley this year (Northrop Auditorium) but it was an all male dance corps that was performing Swan Lake. It was amazing.
I am SO envious of the dancer en pointe on the far left. Just look at his feet!! Thank you for sharing these photos with us!
