Finally, some time to sit and blog about our amazing trip to New Zealand and Australia. First of all, let me just say that if you ever get the chance to go to New Zealand and Australia you should go! If you have to choose between the two, well then, you're left with a tough break, but without hesitation I would tell you to go to New Zealand. Here are some pictures to whet your appetite (and keep in mind, it's winter there so just imagine what it looks like in summer).
Drive by camera shot of countryside. It really was "that green" (greener actually).
Bridal Veil Falls. We pulled off the side of the road a couple times to see waterfalls. All of them were stunning. This one was awesome because we had it all to ourselves as we got there at around 7:30 in the morning.
New Zealand is known for having millions of sheep. But did you know that they are an introduced species? In fact, the only mammal native to New Zealand is the bat. Bet you didn't know that.
New Zealand is awesome because you can drive from coast to coast in like 4-5 hours. This is the west coast of the North Island. It was about an hour and a half out of our way, but we really wanted to see the coast.
This tree is famous, but legally I'm not allowed to tell you why.
Part of a farm where the glowworm caves are located.
The New Zealand Christmas tree. My new favorite tree. Especially from far away, these are so ramrod straight they look fake. Apparently in December they blossom with stunning red flowers.Next, a brief day-by-day of what we did and saw in New Zealand.
