Memorable lines …
“No we’re not getting married.”
“Marlene … Marlene!”
“Mother … tell her … get her off me.”
“What’s your church called again? Access to God??”
Verdict … great fun + all good.

Gorgeous pictures! I can’t wait to visit Australia and New Zealand. Both are on my list! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thanks Teala – I hope you have a great new year too! When you make it “down under” be sure to look me up x
I remember Orakei Korako, definite hot tub but no action just the girls on a Contiki trip. Still have the photos. Did see an avalanche on Mt Cook and I’m sure it was from there. Walked past that mountain swearing big time as my shoes were sh1t. Lesson don’t buy hiking boots in Darwin! Glad you are having a wonderful time. Exx
Sounds like great memories. Luckily no avalanche this time!
No visit to Christchurch? But, we had such fun times over Christmas! You could have had a real earthquake and everything..
No earthquakes this time sadly. I’m already versed in the “get under your desk” method as experienced as a child at school in NZ.
Seriously though, not good news for you guys. Please stay safe and I hope Mother Nature turns her attention somewhere else in 2012 ♥
Looks like a great holiday! Fabulous photos! xoxo
Thanks Raechelle. We had a blast!
