New Zealand - Lake Pukaki, Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo

We had a great time in Queenstown, and once again had great weather.  We spent our time checking out the Kiwi Wildlife Park, going up the Skyline Gondola, riding the Luge, white water rafting and bike riding.

New Zealand - Te Anau

Next stop was Te Anau, were we did two boat trips.  The first to see the glow worms in a cave, which was a great trip - amazing to see the glow worms.  The second out on Milford Sound to see the amazing scenery, get dunked in a waterfall and see seals.

New Zealand - Dunedin

We just got back from 10 days travelling around the south island of New Zealand.  We had a great time and were really fortunate with the weather.  We flew into Christchurch, drove to Dunedin, then Te Anau (then out and back to Milford Sound), up to Queenstown, Twizel and then back to Christchurch to fly back to Sydney.

 First time on a plane for Jack and Josie (well first time Jack can remember), very exciting!!

Steepest street in the world

New Years Day SUP

It has now become a New Years Day tradition for us to cook breakfast at the beach at Spencer Park and take the SUP out.  We all had a great morning this morning.  Happy New Year!!
