Here are some photos from my holiday in New Zealand and Australia... it was a beautiful trip but I'm glad to be back in frigid MN!

This is a beautiful part of the world with really warm people!

In Auckland- sailing on one of the America's Cup yachts!


There are more sheep than people in New Zealand and what a view they have!


Sunset near Mt Cook.


View of Mt Cook on the South Island.


Hiking to Fox Galcier with Viv (sister in law)


Caves in the glacier.

The kids and their dad swam with dolphins right in the middle of the ocean- it was freezing but they loved it!


Last night in Sidney Harbor.

I'll post more photos in the online proof gallery once I have sorted through all 2,000+ images! The thing about New Zealand is as you are driving along the scenery just gets more amazing around every bend... there are more glorious lupines with majestic mountains in the background and I've never seen blues like they have in New Zealand- from the glacial lakes to the pristine harbors- wow!
