    I think it might be on Sunday at 9.30pm, not tomorrow - which according to my guide is a repeat of the Isle of Mann one.

    Good Morning / Good Evening depending on the time zone,

    I just wanted to drop you a quick note firstly to thank you for all of your help in making this latest series of The World’s Greatest Motorcycle Rides. My Commissioner at Travel Channel thinks it is the best one yet as do I.

    We all had the best time in New Zealand and for the first time after a three week trip away from family and friends we didn’t want to leave.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that the 2 x 1hr programmes will be transmitted in New Zealand on Sunday 29th May and Sunday 5th June at 21:30 on Travel Channel New Zealand. The first episode is on the North Island and the second on the South Island.

    Travel Channel will now be producing the DVD of the series in a proper box with a nice front cover etc that I would prefer to send you rather than a DVD duplication with my hand writing on the front. This will take them a few more weeks but as soon as they are done I will put one in the post. If you do want to buy more you can on the Travel Channel website [ www.travelchannel.co.uk ].

    Many thanks once again, I hope you enjoy the series.

    Hamish Rieck
    Producer

    Departure from the pub for home coincided with the end of happy hour and time enough to cop Part II tonight.

    I wont spoil it for ya's but its a ready made advert for Tourism NZ.

    I'm always amused at how Poms struggle with English, for example the west coast North Island town of Levene. Then there's that hard G business in English words like singer but also in Maori words like Hangi. Clue: listen, don't read.

    And one doesn't get to Picton via the Marlborough Sound and it isn't an estuary, the word "sound" is a clue, Henry. The BDOTGNZA is happy to escort you next time you're down this way.

    Despite all Henry's gushing, it's nice to see somebody enjoying themselves on roads that I have enjoyed too.

    Good episode, scenery was awesome. I think sometimes it takes an outsider to make us realize just how lucky we are.
