[gps-talkusers] Re: New Zealand points of interest recording

I forgot to say, if I don't write back within 6 hours, send the posse to find 
me. No worries as they say here, 

I recorded 23 points of interest in Christchurch and met several locals in the 
process. Found a great Italian place called Portafino's.

Turns out that the international wheelchair rugby championships were in 
Christchurch and all 11 teams are staying in the same hotel as me. I have never 
seen so many wheelies in one place at the same time. It was downright hazardous 
caning my way across the hotel lobby. The U.S. won the competition and New 
Zealand came in second. Remember that they tackle each other in rugby. 
Apparently, these guys are crazy and knock each other over in the same fashion 
to score a tackle. You can see why I would stay out of their way.
