Black Water Rafting

See what happens when you get 2 months behind in your photos, you forget the names of places. And the drop down list on the dates gets all messed up, sorry about that, we can thank my not-so-brilliant guy I hired to do that bit once I was already travelling, and I have no computer of my own to fix it. Anyway, black water rafting, caving, tubing in the cave, rappelling down, and climbing out – wow! And my MOM even did it – way to go Mom!!

We can see the add - Even Grandmoms Can Do This!

Ball Pass Trek – the Highest Guided walk in New Zealand

I couldn’t think of a better way to end my 1,000 km’s of tramping in New Zealand than by doing the Ball Pass, and getting up to see the sunrise on the Caroline face of Mt. Cook. These 2 days with Paul and our amazing guide Graham were so good that I have to put 2 days entries in so I can show more pics!

Kayaking and sailing on Lake Manapouri

Excellent day of kayaking some 24 km around Lake Manapouri. And the sailing was about ten times more fun than it looks. The guides had a good laugh watching us try and fail to get that sail up over and over…..but we laughed even more!

How beautiful is that?
