A peaceful New Zealand experience

In my quest to do all those things I wanted to do before leaving, I couldn't have forgotten to cruise along the Abel Tasman park and do a bit of sea kyacking. It was a lovely day and we got to see fur seal pups playing within a meter of our kyacks. It was a tough 15 kilometer journey but I slept wonderfully that evening.

Is that why they call it the Blue Ice Cafe?

I have been on the glacier walk three times and each time have gotten rain! Anyway, they were all complimentary so I'm really not complaining.

Tongariro Crossing

This is the view of the South Crater looking toward Mt. Ngauruhoe. After a horrible climb up and up to get there I decided to take a bit of a break for lunch. Not a bad place to enjoy the view, eh?

Typical New Zealand

I couldn't help but to break out the camera for this perfect New Zealand shot - sheep grazing with a mountainous backdrop shot somewhere between Christchurch and Arthur's Pass.
