Away from the grounds, the tour has been just as marvellous. We've driven around much of the country and it's clean, organised and is a wonderful place to visit. Plus the people are brilliant.
I've played on some of the best golf courses in the world. Plus our colleague Ian Smith took us up to his house because we'd got fed up of eating lobster!!
We went up to Lake Taupo and had a very interesting time in a bar called JJ's. The bloke who owns it (JJ) is great company, but as I wrote on Twitter, he's as mad as a left-handed shirt!
He's a former Junior All Black and from what we could see, all he does all day is stand outside his bar drinking Heineken! He was a wonderful host and I'll make sure I put some pictures of him in my next book.
He prepared us what's known as a 'New Zealand Roast' and I swear it was half a sheep! I think they served it on a dustbin lid...
So the country, the cricket, the people...it's all been lovely. That's the report so far!
