wow, this so totally reminds me of wellington (were i lived for 9 months last year). the only landmarks missing was the reverse bungy on courtney place, the museum and the zebra print hostel on tory street.

thanks for a slice of memory.

I'd love to visit, too. New Zealand, home of hobbits, elves, flight of the conchords, kiwis, Leslie Blackwell, and probably some other stuff.

Can you put all of EditRed up on a poetry weekend, Les.


Just a count on syllables -

1 2 4 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 14 9 7 7 5 4 3 2 1 = syllable counts.

But that's just being technical and you 'did' get the last and first word to match - so bonus points there.

Loved the content, but now feel like leaving wet, cold UK and heading South East to Aukland (land of the Auks)

I only wish I had a passport

Grae:)

Great- now I want to go visit!

Great job with the challenge. It isn't always easy getting these things just right. Gotta warn you, though- they are a bit addicting.
