    This was flying back from Steward Island on Sunday night since the
    ferry we took over was canceled going back due to the weather. By far
    the smallest plane I've ever flown in - 10 people including the pilot.
    Jojo is sitting next to the pilot and, believe it or not, struck up a
    conversation with him. It was the pilot's sixth trip of the day, and he
    wasn't bothered in the least by the pouring rain and high winds!

    It was a little windy! Jojo and I were on the Southernmost Point of New
    Zealand's South Island, though not as far south as Stewart Island where
    we were coming back from. Good times, though, good times. We had
    spent the night in a farmer's field, sleeping in our sleepings bags in
    the back of the truck with Dodgeball playing on Jojo's laptop (we had
    already seen Anchorman, Van Wilder, and Blazing Saddles). I took a
    really cool time lapse picture over about 30 minutes which I'll post
    soon, but just after it got dark, around midnight, a buzz of brightly
    colored lights slid out on the ocean around a point and came towards
    us. We both shot up in our sleeping bags and quickly realized a cruise
    ship was passing by! A wee bit cold and windy for that, eh mate?

    Video clip is pretty self-explanatory. I should note that it is the steepest, inhabited
    road in the world, at least that has claimed the title and accompanying
    tourist traffic.  That was the last stop in Dunedin - we had
    visited New Zealand's only castle and their albatross colony, along
    with the Cadbury Factory and the Speights Brewery the day before!
