Some NZ pics!

This was on the Barbary Yacht on Lake Taupo (biggest fresh water lake in the Southern Hemisphere). They took us out (along with 15 other people) to see the famous Maori Rock Carvings. The Maori people to NZ are like the Aboriginals to Aussi. However, we were disappointed to learn that the rock carvings were only done about 30 years ago - hahah. Ohh well, they were pretty and it was a fantastic boat ride!

Ash on the bow of the boat :) This was actually where we got splashed the least!

The giant Maori Carving - looks like a gorilla face...

At our cute little turkish themed room in Kaikoura. This is where we stayed for Xmas Eve. It was actually a really nice place to sleep, but there was only a little room for all of our suitcases :(

At the Maori Carvings in Lake Taupo (middle of the North Island) (This was the same lake that Broderick and Holly went skydiving over 2 years ago)

We're sailing!! YAY! We lucked out with beautiful sailing weather and a very entertaining captain (he looked like he should be a captain in a Disney Movie :))
