FLASHBACK: Final Days in New Zealand!


Cam & I left New Zealand in the middle of April & were sort of tired of traveling at that point. But here is an excerpt of our final few days...

We went to a town that was the home of a famous shearer who is in the Shearer Hall of Fame. This statue was really great and since we were about ready to leave the land of sheep, we snapped a picture.

We went to this botanic garden in Hamilton, but we did & in the greenhouse I saw this plant & thought of hair.

Grow it
Show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair!

This will be the final post about New Zealand and our adventures on the North island. I hope you've enjoyed the other postings & will have to settle for our trips around Australia for the foreseeable future. Check out this car we saw: Elizabeth Norris Hartnell 6 (June) 14!!!

I couldn't believe it, seemed like such an amazing thing to see on our honeymoon: my name & birthday on the back of a Honda Civic.



We traveled around and found this crazy configuration of a railroad. The diagram in the foreground illustrates all the twists, curves, and tunnels needed to climb from this town to the next one. I've added arrows to help you see what is illustrated. We even got to see a train travel through it. Wicked!

The final shot of our trip is appropriately an airplane. With both the Quantas and Air New Zealand, its pretty clear where we were & where we were leaving.



An amazing holiday & can't wait till we return!
