We're still in New Zealand!

Hi Everyone!

We're still alive. We are now on our way back North. We went skiing in Queenstown, which was an absolute thrill since the scenery was incredible and the snow was awesome. Trevor actually boarded so that he could stay with me awww! We've seen the ocean and the mountains. We've frozen a bit and had some fun in a bit of warmer weather (maybe 15 degrees). We've been driving lots, but the scenery is so awesome. We went down to Milford Sound and went on a cruise that took us out to the ocean and back to the little cove ish area. We saw seals in the wild (they were so cute). We actually saw one on a rock when we were still on land. We camped in the awesomest areas with beautiful rainforest and mountains as our surroundings. I know I'm just rambling off a bunch of places, but believe me, it's been awesome. It is definitely a beautiful country. We're right now in Hokitika, jade country. It is a little town where the ocean meets mountains. We went swimming in the pool (mainly to take a shower since we've been sleeping in the van for the last few days. Yesterday we did a couple of walks leading us to the glaciers (Fox and Franz Josef) on the west coast. We'll be heading Kaikoura next and then up to the North Island after. We're having a great time and we hope everyone is doing well back home!

Talk to you eventually!

SMILE:)
Amanda + Trevor
