Back from the honeymoon

Postby embi on Mon Oct 17, 2005 12:52 am

Just arrived back from 2 weeks in NZ.

I took shite loads of pics and will endeavour to put some up for viewing in the next week.

It's good to be back.

Ah thats what we basically did except we didnt drive on the Nth Island.

We did a driving trip on the south Island, so if you need any info just ask away.

Thanks embi.

I do have a question, about the fox glacier hikes. Is it any good and how far do you hike for a 1 day trip. :D :D

Mr & Mrs Embi,
Hope you have had a wonderful honeymoon trip and enjoying taking photos in NZ, welcome home and show us your photos.

Nito,
I thought honeymoon is a "hardworking period", which required more rest than spend all the remaining energy at the Fox Glacier hikes :lol: :lol:
Pls. tell us more when both of you coming back after the trip.

We didn't actually do the fox glacier. We went to Franz Joesph, which is 23 kms from fox and a bigger and better glacier.

We did a heli hike. The most expensive of the hikes but I think it would be better as you get right on the glacier and straight into the good stuff.

I have put up a webpage of a few of our adventures in NZ. There are quite a few of the glacier pics so have a look.

Pics are here -> http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~mengland/honeymoon/

Great pics Embi and welcome back :D Pretty much impossible to take a bad pic when you have an awesome location like NZ :) Definitely keepers in there to print and keep in your album.
