It’s been almost 2 weeks since I’ve been in NZ! Spent a week in Queenstown and am now in Auckland at Ben’s familiy home. Christchurch just experienced yet another (5.8) earthquake a few hours ago, I hope everyone is fine. Hang in there, Canterburians!
Back to my trip so far – I’ve heard so many praises for the South Island, and I have to agree, Queenstown is AMAZING. SO SO BEAUTIFUL. Arrowtown and Glenorchy were quaint and very pretty too. My favorite part of the trip – horse riding in Glenorchy, near Paradise (yes, that’s the name). That’s where LOTR, The Hobbit, and parts of Wolverine was shot. We rode through valleys, past snow-capped mountains, even horse-knee high up through rivers. AWESOME!
Auckland has been chill. Celebrated B’s nana’s 90th birthday, his uncle Mike’s 60th b’day, met up with some of his friends, and tomorrow, X’mas eve dinner with his family. Nice holiday so far. Me likey. I’ll leave you with some pictures. More up on FB and I’m still working on a home video!
