We would however really like to express how much we value the effort required to come to Arrowtown and share our special day with us, and we are very mindful of this, hence your presence on the day is the best present to us.<br /><br />We have set up a gift registry for those who would wish to use it.<br /><a href="http://www.thehomestore.co.nz/">http://www.thehomestore.co.nz/</a> Enter either Blincoe or Danby in the search<br />We are also saving for a coffee machine - and so have created a "Coffee Machine Registry". If you wish to contribute the Coffee Machine account is 12-3013-0783159-52.<br /><br />Once again, having you share our wedding with us in one of our most special places in the world truly is the best present, so please do not feel a present is necessary.<br /><br />Off to watch the British Open!<br /><br />Love and Hugs<br /><br />Liesse and Neal<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4780528154273603987-4306927572697697552?l=nealandliesse.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Liesse &amp; Nealnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780528154273603987.post-86247748084064969212010-07-13T08:46:00.000-07:002010-07-18T04:27:13.604-07:00<div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div>Good Morning Everyone!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YTg5b_8wU9s/TELkVjwmkaI/AAAAAAAAABs/NKxDqwKDkG4/s1600/QST.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 215px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495205554372907426" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YTg5b_8wU9s/TELkVjwmkaI/AAAAAAAAABs/NKxDqwKDkG4/s320/QST.jpg" /></a></div><div><em>Glenorchy<br /></em><br />Well I am writing this at 3am during a night shift - so apologies for any spelling and gramatical errors!<br /><br /><br /><br />We hope that everyone on this side of the equator is rugging up warm and enjoying the crisp and gorgeous winter weather.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YTg5b_8wU9s/TELkVw9gliI/AAAAAAAAAB0/46DjALgznJk/s1600/lake+hayes.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495205557916702242" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YTg5b_8wU9s/TELkVw9gliI/AAAAAAAAAB0/46DjALgznJk/s320/lake+hayes.jpg" /></a></div><div><em>Lake Hayes<br /></em><br />Thought it would be time for a wee wedding update.

I am definitely looking forward to making the most of it come the end of exams on Tuesday!<br /><br />Here are some good places to start for accomodation. Please scroll down previous posts for advice re: flights, airlines.<br /><br />We will be sending out directions with the invitation. In a nutshell the wedding ceremony will be held in Arrowtown, and the reception is about 15min away at The Winehouse and Kitchen in the Gibbston Valley. We will be looking into group transport options from Arrowtown to ceremony and reception.<br /><br />We will be staying in Arrowtown for the week before the wedding (from the 19th Sept) and then a few days after. It would be great to spend time with you during this time (maybe sneak a few ski runs in too!!).<br /><br />There is a range of accomodation options from holiday houses, hotels, B+Bs, backpackers and motels.<br /><br />Useful websites:<br /><a href="http://www.arrowtown.com/accomodation">www.arrowtown.com/accomodation</a><br /><a href="http://www.holidayhouses.co.nz/">www.holidayhouses.co.nz</a><br /><a href="http://www.holidayhomes.co.nz/">www.holidayhomes.co.nz</a><br /><a href="http://www.bookabach.co.nz/">www.bookabach.co.nz</a><br /><a href="http://www.millbrook.co.nz/">www.millbrook.co.nz</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.arrowtown.com/">www.arrowtown.com</a> also has some good information on activities in the area - there is heaps to do!!
