Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoy these photos of our recent holiday to the South Island in New Zealand.
I just have to say if anyone is thinking of going there, you're in for a treat. It's absolutely gorgeous. The scenery was sensational. It is so different to Australia yet it's so close.
This photo is the view from the top of the gondola in Queenstown, the adventure capital of NZ.
Since we only had 11 days to see everything we thought it best to take some helicopter flights.
This particular flight took as around Mt Cook, the highest mountain not only in NZ but Australasia. Before we actually flew around the peak we stopped for a photo.
Here is the top of Aoraki (Mt Cook)
This is the Tasman glacier. It is the largest glacier in New Zealand.
The glacial water is so blue, just stunning.
The top of Mt Cook again.
Remember how I mentioned that Queenstown was the adventure capital of NZ, well Bryan decided to be adventurous. He through himself off this suspension bridge. Luckily he was attached to a bungy cord.
Hella, it's a long way down there!!!!!!
He asked to be dunked up to his waist but he forgot to hold his nose as he came back up through the water.......dunderhead !!! 
We have many photos so I wont bombard you all at once but I would like to show you some more so I'll post some more in a few days. Thanks for looking.

B must be part terrier to pull a stunt like that. Wouldn't see me doing it. No way. Maybe PeeWee, but he's a water dog.
New Zealand looks fantastic.

Omidog! My sinuses are hurting in sympathy with that bungy jumping/dunking anecdote.
I loved the glacial water! Beautiful color.
Misery is loving looking at your photos of NZ. Every time she went she never saw the top of Mt Cook as it was always covered in cloud. (She's seen Kosiosko though - or however it's spelled). Glad to hear Lucy is ok. Catch youse all later. Pippa.
Those pictures are just stunning! The water is just gorgeous!! I can't believe Bryan willingly jumped off bridge! Humans are so crazy sometimes!! I'm glad you had so much fun, D!!
Love,
Janie

New Zealand looks beautiful, the bungy jump is too scarey to consider though!
Looking forward to seeing you guys at the Christmas party - gotta get to work on those costumes...

What an amazing vacation! Those were gorgeous pictures. My mom has always wanted to visit New Zealand. She has family that lives there and is always jealous when she sees pictures of their home.

Geez....the Pinkies sure took beautiful pictures and the scenery was breath-takin'....fer sure....We most likely won't ever get ta New Zealand....heck we've never been out of the states....but brother Brian was in Australia a few years ago....he had a great time but he didn't take us....
Yer Bryan is real brave jumpin' off that bridge....it scared us just lookin' at it....Gram always says she would have ta be drugged up and unconscious ta do somethin' like that.....

Holy cow Noah Bryan is a stuntman!
He is wayyyy braver than us. Though I would like to dangle Hootie from a rope like that sometimes. BOL.
Smooches,

Very funny. Okay Denise, here's the story. You need to trade that crazy man in for a nice hairy little Welshie!! We love danger, but are much cuddlier than a hooman guy!! Think about it.
