3 blogs for one






Today you get three blogs for one. This blog site only allows 5 pictures per blog entry but we have 14 so the two blogs below this are new as well. Here's some non LOTR stuff. (1) Recent damage from the lahar (volcanic mudslide) you may have heard of. (2) A funky fixed-rail-skate thingy in a Wellington park. Off to the right is our cousin's cousin David DuBois who showed us around and gave us the lowdown on Wellington. A fairly animated guy as you can tell. (3) A week or so ago we did the Tongariro Crossing hike. Here's a “Where's Betsy” shot on the "devils staircase" which is an hour of climbing up chunky lava. (4) A postcard-like shot of Ketetahi creek at the end of the hike.
Now we're on the south island. Here's a shot of Queen Charlotte Sound (5) which the ferry goes through to get to the port. Somehow we got through 5 weeks of the North Island with only a couple days of rain, so here we’re finally getting some real New Zealand weather. We’re going to talk to someone about this.
