Mm Links January 2013 Week 3 – New Contestants Always Welcome.
45 Answers
This is Queen Christiana, the Cheerful one, continuing with her travels in the Southern Hemisphere and inviting you to guess the links she has chosen, rules in separate posting below.
This week we journey to the Land of the Long White Cloud – New Zealand. South Island is utterly amazing with its glaciers, spectacular scenery and Alpine Express Railway. It was also heartbreaking to witness many of Christchurch’s oldest and finest buildings still standing but scheduled for demolition well over a year after the earthquake of February 2011, due to invisible but deadly structural damage.
For us, the real revelation was the highly scenic but unsung Banks Peninsula. It was formed as the result of violent eruptions, millions of years ago, forming natural harbours, bay and inlets. We stayed in quaintly beautiful Akaroa and enjoyed every minute of it.
In North Island we visited Hobbiton – the ‘home’ setting for the Lord of the Rings films, the art deco town of Napier, and the mind-boggling thermally active areas in and around Rotorua, also fitting in visits to various relatives. Less edifying perhaps, we also discovered what a ‘long-drop’ toilet is, travelled for a while on the Naked Bus, and hired a car from Jucy Car Rentals. The latter was clearly labelled in the back window, “El Cheapo”. Oh, the shame of it.

According to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that each of my pre-selected link words contains at least four letters and at most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts!
Each of the selected link words may go in front of, or behind my challenge word to make a new longer word or to make a well-known phrase or saying. The combination will never be a person's name.
The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when gen2 will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
