Still in Wellington. I was due to head up to Tauranga (on east coast of N.Island) with Gary on Wednesday to continue my pre-Christmas tour. Unfortunately, it's been put on hold for a few more days at least due to a knee injury. Nope, it's not the same one from last year - this one's a brand-spanking new one! I reckon I've strained the ligaments in my left knee that attach the quadriceps to the patella.
With all the practice I've had with knee injuries, it's healing quite nicely, so hopefully there'll be chance for another few days of (light) touring before Christmas. One day I'll learn to pace myself.
Anyway, to maintain interest, I've attached this astonishing shot of my catch on a recent fishing trip around the south coast. It was tricky to bait the hook, and the strain on my 4lb line made for quite a battle, but even the fishing-mad locals were that impressed they had to take a picture!
In all seriousness, this big fella (or lass) had been lying there for 3 days and had died a few hours before this was taken. As interesting as it was, it was pretty saddening to see such a majestic creature in that way. And, I have no idea what kind of whale it was: does anyone else know?
