Colburn's Travels

So Roger is off to the Chatham Islands on Monday. Most NZ's have never been there...actually have not been able to find anyone that has been there. Cathy and the kids will stay in Christchurch.

Chatham is part of NZ about 800 KM to the east. Time on the Chathams is 45 minutes ahead of mainland New Zealand, and Pitt Island, with 50 people, is the first inhabited land in the world to see the sunrise each day.
