It is 7:30am. I have been up for 1.5 hour. Whiskey got his painkiller when I woke up. It was dark and rainy and miserable at 6:30am. I decided to wait until now to go for a walk. Wish us luck so we dont meet mama bear and cub! I plan on taking a, one, bush trail. 

UPDATE

We had an amazing walk, long one, under the pouring rain. I have found us the perfect path in the morning, and we get to do two small bush trails.  We were gone for over 1.5 hour. Hubby landed in Auckland by now, about 20 minutes ago.
