yesterday, we drove from auckland to rotorua! we saw glow worms in a cave and hot springs 🙂
lovely companions 🙂
today we took a flight to christchurch and chris and i went on a mega walk and rode a gondola up a mountain. holy cow i was beat. i believe it was the most exercise these legs have had in awhile. 🙂 this is truly a lovely land.
view from the top– i believe there was some lord of the rings filming around these parts! 🙂 woohoo!
gosh i love this shot:
mom, you would have loved walking through the botanical gardens…made me think of you. i hope those rascals are being good to you! xoxox
and give her a hand.. jamie climbed a gigantic tree with chris to get these shots. 🙂
forgive the short descriptions.. it’s late and we’ve got a 5am train to catch to wellington… where chris and i are riding mopeds around town. yes, folks- she’s getting adventurous. 🙂
