Christmas in New Zealand!


Merry Christmas!!! Adam and I definately felt like we were somewhat near home at Christmas as it was freezing where we were in New Zealand. We spent Christmas eve at a campsite and made a very simple Christmas meal, and then we went to Milford Sound to do a cruise. The scenery was incredible. They say it is actually more picturesque in the rain, and it was definately raining. Apparently it rains 2/3 days. I think this may be the reason they say it is better in the rain, or they may not have business.....
We spent 2.5 hours on a small boat touring around the Fiord. There were waterfalls everywhere. We saw seals and also saw a very rare penguin which was neat. We made it out towards the Tasman Sea but the captain had to then turn around as it was way to choppy. Adam braved the cold and rain and went out on the front to look around. I took the picture from inside the boat...
It was a very nice way to spend Christmas!
