I couldn't possibly have any more fun....
a new and exciting adventure met us around every corner when we headed over to New Zealand
but first!!! Proof that we slept in a swag underneath the Australian stars!
that's my swag. Looking at this really gives me the creeps...
more proof! (I'm still grossed out at that pillow.)
an Australian desert sunrise
There's New Zealand in the background!
About now we were feeling a little like this.....
Then I got to go play Blackjack!!!! OH I had SO much fun!!!
we hired a driver to take us on an all day tour of New Zealand
The countryside was breathtaking!
Michael and I rode down a hill in I think it's called a Zorb! OMG it was SO much fun!
we had been dying to see a sheep farm and watch sheep shearing. So that's just what we did!
E and I went up on stage and the host gave us these bottles of milk that had just come from one of their cows and told us at the count of three we had to drink it........I was not about to and neither was E....
then out of the gate pops these precious creatures!!!
I have never been so surprised and excited in my life!
is that not the cutest thing you have ever seen?
then we went to an Indian reservation (or a show)
and Michael was named chief!
It was getting really chilly and was starting to rain, so we sat on this rock which was warmed by the steam below it. We were in Geyser Country!
Steam was coming from everywhere and it was SO beautiful!
Two of my favorite people in the whole wide world!
We got to walk on a swinging bridge!
finally, to top the day off, we visited a 300 million year old cave. It was absolutely gorgeous! There were glow worm hanging in the dark and when you looked up, it looked like the galaxy!
This has been the most exciting trip I've ever been on. E and Michael have been such wonderful friends to travel with and I really don't think we ever tired of one another!! We sadly leave today for the 19 hour flight back. We all said we hate to leave but by now are missing our family and dogs really bad. I personally can't wait to see "W" and tell him all of the exciting stories about my adventures!
Have a great day y'all!
See ya back in the good ole USofA!
