Thanks for taking us along on your great adventure...it will probabley be the closest I get to that area of the world.
Now I just love the women's sign but I think the no shooting sign needs to be here in Muskoka!
Love to all and look forward to hearing more about the trip.

Signs Did you see the signs going over Haast Pass for Trickle No. 1 and Trickle No. 2? I thought that was taking it to the extreme (or "ex-stream")! :)

Hope to chat when you get home...

Visiting New Zealand Hi Vicki,
We would love to chat with you about our adventures and the pros and cons of an Escape Rental. You probably won't be able to shut us up :)
Pauline
picture purfect! I have so enjoyed all the information and pictures you have been sending out...thank you so much. The picture of you two on the beach shows your joy at experiencing this amazing adventure. You look so relaxed and happy :)
Green The green of the valley sent shivers up my spine. How amazing it must be to see and expierence this in real time. Pauline you and Dick are living part of my dream. If i didn't live in Canada New Zealand or Australia would be my choice. Enjoy your time.
Forgotten Valley Hi Ralph,
It was an incredible ride along that highway - at every turn we were seeing scenes like that. We think of you often as we travel around - we spend a lot of time on back roads and travelling through pasture land used where we see lots of cattle and sheep. You would certainly love it here.
Love, Pauline
Loved the pictures of swimming with the dolphins. Now I have a new image to plant in my brain when I'm doing those lengths at the JCC. As long as its in my brain then its real right? Thanks for planting those new dream seeds.
I can not think of a better way to spend your easter weekend than with the dolphins...so very cool for sure. I can hardly believe you have been there for 6 1/2 weeks...and if the time has flown for me it certainly would have for you guys. Enjoy and look forward to the next update.

Wow! Dolphins! Hi Dick and Pauline! I'm jealous you went swimming with the dolphins! I saw dolphins at Punakaiki and when I was on the ferry, but never close enough to get a photo. I hope you had a smooth ferry crossing. Enjoy the North Island. Te Puia in Rotorua is expensive, but my girlfriend and I thought it was worth it. Same with The Black Abyss Tour at Waitomo Caves.
Kaikoura - a magical place Sitting on the stone beach at Kaikoura in the evening with the gentle waves rustling on the stones is a magical time. I also had my first venture swimming with the seals at Kaikoura. It's great to be able to interact with the sea life in their natural environment!
bucket list Well, I am adding "swim with dolphins" to my bucket list! that looks wonderful..hilarious how "ungracefull" the humans look compared to the sleek agile dolphins....of course the dolphins have had centuries to perfect their skills! I love getting your blogs! thank you so much.....continue your adventure...love always Nancy
