The past two weeks have been epic. The scenery in the southwest of the South Island is almost unreal. Mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, gorges, waterfalls, beaches, glaciers, fjords – big and beautiful and literally around every single turn in the road. Cameras fail to capture the scale and absolute gorgeousness (or at least mine does!).
Heard in the van:
Wow Wow Wow
How is that even possible?
That doesn’t look real
Can you even believe this?
That’s just epic
Have you ever seen anything like this?
NZ is honestly the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen
This is like Scotland on steroids
Holy moly
Holy cow shit (Grace!)
Also heard in the van:
Could you please just leave me alone for five minutes?!
Do you think our children might be a little bit bipolar?
The top bunk is starting to feel like a coffin
Why are there so many sandflies?!
THANK YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR TAKING ME ON THIS FABULOUS TRIP TO PLACES I WILL NEVER SEE. I AM AMAZED AND SIT IN AWE OF THE BEAUTY. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU, LEAH, AND YOUR FAMILY FOR HAVING THIS EXPERIENCE. YOUR CHILDREN ARE JUST BEAUTIES ALSO.
MY LOVE TO YOU, AUNT TUDY
