Update some pics

February 27th 2008 by LOAtravels

Hi there, I just wanted to post some pictures as we have them backed up to disc now. I didn't want to risk losing all of them again. These are mostly New Zealand and some Australia. Sorry about the random order. We are currently in Bangkok, it is everything it is noted for, I have been propositioned by at least 3 different genders here.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Franz Josef Glacier
The only glacier to advance into a rain forest. It is now larger than it was in the 1970s. Gives us some hope on Global Warming perhaps.

My Arm
See how buff I am, chicks really dig this one.

Tree Ferns
These are prolific all over the South and North Islands. Very nice indeed.

Sand Fly Beach
This is a truly amazing beach that is about a 1 hour walk in to. The penguins come to nest here in the winter time. As we were here in the summer the sand flies were the hosts. My God they are vicious... [more]

View from a road side stop
On the way to Milford Sound

Wanaka lake
Nice big lake in the center of the South Island, reminded us of Kamloops Lake

Water Fall
Milford sound. We were lucky as it rained for a couple of days before we were in Milford sound, so there was water in the falls. Much more gooder to look at when there is water in them.

Mildford Sound

Giant Rock Leeches
or seals I can't remember.

Milford Sound

Stairs up the tower
carved out of limestone. Very steep and confined.

All those pictures are amazing, i can't believe you are actually visiting them all. But I have to admit, I'm having a hard time choosing my fave, either the rock leaches or the hairy arm! And Joanne, I didn't realize how many genders there were. Must be your accent and blonde hair! Keep an eye on her Bill, and Joanne, you keep an eye on that arm of his! lol So happy for you both. Ok, but to my stressful, no relief in sight job!! xxxooo Deb
