... wineries. hundreds of each. I am still amazed by the trees, and how there are so many different kinds of trees. Some trees grow on one side of a mountain and then on the other side will be a different shade of green with a different kind of tree. It is amazing. I wish I could just video record my whole bus ride and ferry ride and just watch it over and over again every day. New Zealand is unlike ...

... tanto, y nos damos cuenta que ya han pasado 10 minutos!
No han echo ninguna cuenta atras, y como no se oye ningun cohete ni ningun
grito por el pueblo, no nos hemos ni enterado de la entrada en el 2005.
Nos hacemos nuestra fiestecita en el hostel, muy tranquilita, pero nos
cuentan que en las fiestas que habian organizado por los alrededores,
donde no esta permitido nada de alcohol, tampoco se han desmadrado mucho...

... as if you just jumped into ice cold water and can't catch your breath. The world is spinning and you can't find your equilibrium. At this point, your brain is on sensory overload as it processes things it has never processed before. Some people can't remember the very first part of their free fall experience because of this; there's simply too much to process.

... its Coastal Track, one of New Zealand's nine Great Walks. After booking huts along the trail in Motueka, a nearby town, and getting information on the track, we started the hike around 3:30 p.m.

The first day was good: we were all fresh, and since we started so late decided to only make a short tramp of about 13 km, to the first hut, which took us a little more than three hours. We did have to walk for a little while after dark, though, and although we had ...

... Beach. It is a really popular beach that we heard was worth a visit. So we headed there and hiked for about 20 minutes. And...WOW...what a beach! We stayed there for nearly 2 hours just wondering about. There were huge rocks climbing out of the sea. There were also caves that we got to explore.
What an amazing place! We saw most of the sunset there and then left. We hate finding a place to stay in the dark. We ...

I finally got to Golden Bay! I have been wanting to come here since Novermber! There were a lot of beaches, but they were all empty since it is now becoming autumn. Well! Since I am a true Canadian, I didn't feel the cold in my bathing suit. I got a whole beach to myself for a few hours. SO COOL! But then it did get a little cloudy and cool, so I packed in into the car and found another roadside pullout to ...

... tury a na konci dne je zase vyzvednou. Kdyz jsme dorazili do parku, pocasi se stale jeste nehodlalo umoudrit a chvili jsme uvazovali, jestli ma vubec cenu si na dalsi den neco planovat. Nakonec optimisticka polovina nasi osobnosti zvitezila a my si i pres neuprosny dest objednali hydrotaxi na dalsi den. Potom jsme se vydali na obhlidku plaze Kaiteriteri, ktera je podle pruvodce jednou z nejkrasnejsich na svete, no v tom desti to tak moc nevypadalo ...

... on rocks tho!! we then turned to head back the way we'd come but all of a sudden out of no where this wind picked up and it turned the trip into one of two halves....we had to paddle really hard over big waves to get back!! it was a very different experience but still really cool!!!! i was laughing the whole way back!!! we were so proud of ourselves for making it back!!! we had a great time!! that afternoon we went and did a walk to Wainui falls...quite a long ...

Golden Bay Farmstay. After driving over a very steep and twisty mountain pass we came upon Autumn Farm where we spent a fews days in the mad but friendly world of Peter & Pete the hosts, which included eating Howard their friendly cow that had been turned into sausages, eggs from the chuck house, jams from the orchards, salad leaves from the vegetable patch all finished off with our own ...
