Face Your Fears on Angel’s Landing [Zion National Park]

Ice Castles in Midway, Utah

Maori Haere Mai (Maori Welcome)
May 19, 2013 Today we arrived in Kaikoura. It’s a coastal city on the north eastern part of South Island. It’s a beautiful coastal town where you can see the mountains and beach at the same time. I’m not used to that in Florida! As soon as we got there, we were greeted by a […]

An Adventure to the Container Mall
May 18, 2013 Today was our free day in Christchurch. We went back to the container mall. This is a mall made out of shipping containers. Each individual shop is within a container. It’s quite interesting and a little hard to imagine without seeing it. There was a great little Greek food place there where […]
