A small group of us spent Christmas day on Stewart Island. This place really is stuck in the past. It took me ages to find decent internet access and it was being charged by the MB. Beautiful island though.
From wandering around for a day I've found that if you are coming to Stewart Island it should be for at least a week so that you can do the week long trek. It is one of the best walks in New Zealand. A day only allowed us to explore a single peninsula.
I haven't played Chess in about eight years but found the giant chess set near the beach in town a good reason to play again. Philip plays considerably more than I do and, although it was close, he won.
I introduced him to Go afterward.
Christmas dinner here is actually Christmas lunch. Seeing as none of us were hungry at that time we went to the shop that was open and bought our own stuff and had dinner in the hostel. Not the usual Christmas fare but it was good none the less.
