We have a portfolio of 700 photos plus about 4000 raw images taken by our official photographers plus some talented friends and family. I am finally going to share with you a few of Mike and my favourites because as I'm sure you'll agree I can't put them all on here.

Kiwi Experience - Part... I can't remember where we're up to! :P

So since my last main travelling update (aside from the Whale Watch), I have left Queenstown and travelled up the east coast of the south island, spent a couple of days in Christchurch enjoying the World Buskers Festival and catching up with an old friend :) Spent a couple of days in Kiakoura whale watching, seal watching, sunbathing, sea-food eating, rockpooling. Then I waved goodbye to the south island and crossed back to Wellington, meandered back upto Taupo and this afternoon I arrived back at my starting point in Auckland!!!! The Kiwi Experience 'Funky Chicken' pass is finished!!! Sad times but VERY VERY excited to be going home soon to see a certain someone :) :) :)

Just gonna go for a few days upto paradise in the Bay of Islands (as you do) this week then have a 28 hour flight home!!! Will be in the care of Qantas this time next week!!!

Here are some general photos from the last few days - enjoy!

Beautiful Kiakoura - The view from stood ouside my hostel!!!
 Walk around the Kiakoura Peninsula to see the Seal Colony (this was the only cloud in the sky!!)

 Are you looking at me!?

ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME!!!??? (P.S. Yes I know I'm not very witty :P Can't blame me for trying!)


Check out this poser!

Think he was pretending to be a statue!

More of beautiful Kiakoura!



Went rockpooling (at sunset, outside the hostel.... I know, I know, amazing! :)) Anyhoo, went hunting for the famous Paua Shells that get washed up here (you pay $8 + for a good one in a tourist shop).... and look what I found!!!! :) And all because I was prepared to get my feet wet lol! :)
(NB: I didn't find them all nicely arranaged like this for me unfortunately, this is post finding them!)



Couple of days later, back in Taupo - Huka Falls

No coulour editing at all - this is actually what the water looks like there!

Another Taupo sunset! :) :)




Mike - I Love YOU! See you in 1 week!!!!! :) :)

Kiwi Experience - Part 2!

So it's the first time I've had internet access and the time to update you all in 4 days!! Since Taupo and the Tongariro Crossing I have been to River Valley, Wellington and am now over in the South Island in Nelson! It's been a chilled out few days just mainly hanging out with new found friends in some lovely places! So now the North Island is complete and my 17 days in the South Island begins!! It's gonna be a busy few days, will update you when possible. :)

Stunning sunset across Lake Taupo!! (on the far side the lake you can see Mount Doom that I climbed earlier in the day!!)






Walk in the Tongariro National Park



River Valley - obviously!


Passing through the town of Bull - the pun possibilities are endless! lol!


Last night (in Nelson) 10 of us from the bus, cooked a Mexican Feast of Fajitas and Nachos, a bit extravagant but at $9 each still a bargain! Lots of lovely lovely people!
