Thanked: 8Visiting New Zealand anyone ?
Well, to All SRP members that aren't axe murderers (JL excluded) if you decide to visit NZ I will offer free board in the South Island.
So many people say they intend to visit, explore LOTR country etc but it seems the trip is too far or too daunting to take on.
No problemo, fly to Christchurch, I'll meet and greet and put you up, get you sorted and you can use my home as a base to explore.
Great fly fishing, hiking, climbing, whitewater sports, bungy jumping, horse trecking, natural hot spa pools, wine, beer, wine, beer, wine, beer etc..Oh the roast lamb ain't too bad either. We also have green lipped mussels to die for. Yummy.
Don't bring your kinds unless they wanna sleep outdoors in a tent, we only have one spare double room.
We have a dog and cat so if you are allergic you are warned. We do have chickens (they live outside) so I can offer you the best eggs for breakfast...ever.
Full highspeed internet, you can even use my workshop whilst your better half is shopping if you want
Give me at least a few weeks notice though
This is a serious offer btw.
No time limit on this offer either, so plan ahead.
pm me any time.
Cheers
Gary

Thanks for the invite Gary. One fine day when I finally pay off my student loan, I'd like to take you up on it, but in my case it's gonna take years. In any case if anyone does it sooner, I'd like to see some pics posted here

Naa, if I came over I'd never want to come back and I think you get sick of me after a couple of years
Beautiful part of the world you got there.

Gary, that's a very generous offer
Chickens, by the way, are sometimes known as yardbirds in the southern U.S.

I have two questions. One, can I bring my female spousal unit? Two, are we allowed to feed the hobbits?

That is a very cool offer....and once I'm done with school and have a fulltime job me and my wife might take you up on that. It'll be a few months though...most likely a year at least.

He invites us over, he insults us all! Don't make offers that you'll regret later, because I will be on a plane for the fly fishing alone! Never mind all of the other incredible stuff there is to do. An amazing offer, very kind of you Gary.
I'd offer the same deal, but compared to NZ, staying with me would be like going to prison. Because of the lack of exciting things to do. Not the trading of drugs for favors.
