NZ is my wife's dream destination
What a fantastic trip of NZ you two are having. Lindsay, my wife visited NZ and especially its Fjordland National Park and hiked in its renouned Milford Track as a young girl. She keeps torturing me all the time talking about the beauty of NZ's Southern Island. But unlike the two of you, we will remain off extreme sports. That is not for us haha. But I do admire your courage. Your blogs are very informative. We are gathering all the info we can through your writings. Nice job indeed, but do remember -"greater the summer vacation, harder the fall" haha - just kidding. And hope to see you again with TriFit. Keep posting all the nice posts. Live long and prosper.
