New Zealand - part three the road trip!


When Jord and I were looking for flights back to Auckland the prices were ridiculous, we had forgotten about school holidays, not so well planned, but luckily on one of my seemingly pointless internet hours i found that jucy rentals was doing free relocations of Campas from Queenstown to Auckland! so we decided to take a week and see some of the country... heres alittle bit of the madness, frustration love and brilliance of the trip.


We started in Queenstown (obviously) and drove through Wanaka and Hawea. on our way to the west coast. the west coast, is notoriously wet and i have actually never before seen it clear. so this is historic!

Kayla, Madeline and I at the Glacier

Okay I dont know what it is, if its just that things are more familiar or if they do just taste better, but this is me stuffing my face (again) with a pie. jordan was kind enough to catch me numerous times in this same postion.




While we were waiting to board the ferry between the islands we happened across this NZ special addition Micky Mouse, Ryker this is for you!!


Passing through the Marlborough Sounds..


Jords hair is back with a vengeance!!


When we got off the ferry I attempted to navigate us through Wellington ( the capitol) in rush hour.. needless to say it did not end well.


OUR CAMPA!

This is me outside the Woman's Suffrage house, NZ was the first country in the world to grant women the vote, (theres your random piece of infomation for the day!)


we tried to do jumping photos.... yeah not a success, but i like the zoolander hair

Chilling on the Supreme court steps




My friend Suyi graced us with presence her for a sweet 1/2 hour of high school catch up


a nice and safe parking spot



KIWIFRUIT! jordans on the bottom right taking a bite, this is how big they grow in the north.







Jord NZ family, the Hynes.


We finally made it to Hamilton, and did a session in the Temple, which was really special, especially as without even knowing it we showed up during my home wards temple week so got to see so many people i love.


Jordan working out how long it would take us to row back in a waka



It was an amazing trip, that i am so grateful we got to do. the weather was crazy beautiful and we didnt kill each other! so all and all a great success. sorry about the super long post. XOXO
