Weathersfield, VT
Kia Ora! We're just back from two magical weeks in New Zealand. NZ has been on my bucket list for a while and when the opportunity presented itself to go for a two week adventure, I jumped on it. We traveled all over this two island "adventure capital of the world" and had a fantastic time. I'm slowly editing my pictures and posting my thoughts to my blog. Hopefully, the photos and prose will inspire you to take the LONG plane ride down under and visit this extraordinary place.
We spent a couple of days in Queenstown.
We toured the west coast.
And spent a day in Punakaiki,
More coming next week or follow along with my blog.
We also saw a great show at Billsville House Concerts on Saturday night. Upstate Rubdown performed.
Videos from the show can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKa6O-DUsAoCVHPI27BQl3Pj0VF-m0GvU
