We will always remember Peter for his affable , easy-going nature and quiet , reassuring , companionship . Pam spent much of the winter organizing the annual national recorder-playing weekend . She 's working in Just Jeans in Manly , and now has a steady boyfriend living near Sydney ( a Kiwi ) who we have n't yet met . - he made it quite clear that although looking round NZ was ok , sailing was the main event . Then home via Heathrow , quite exhausted , only to be delayed for a very short night in Los Angeles by the volcano erupting in central New Zealand . But while the walking was arduous at times , the landscape and views were varied and stunning - - at one point we even caught a glimpse of Mount Cook far away in the central South Island . Today Urupukapuka is a central attraction in the Bay of Islands , destination of thousands of yachties ( and a few very brave canoeists ) . Today , mid-summer , 30 cm of rain has been forecast for the central South Island !
