Photos: Auckland, Rangitoto, Tongariro!


Here are some photos of my first few weeks in New Zealand!



MARILEES 21ST BIRTHDAY!



Lany (Mar's little sister), myself, Marilee, and Robin (another friend visiting from Winnipeg)




Some of the decorations! A 21st birthday is a big one that people celebrate in New Zealand, even though the legal age is 18. So a lot of the time the birthday person rents out a bar and invites all their friends! Which is just what Marilee did! So we decorated it up a little and got all dressed up and had a great time!




Day Trip: Rangitoto




Mar and Robin and I did a day trip to a dormant volcano island called Rangitoto, which was amazing!

There were lava caves to explore...dont worry it was old lava, not new stuff...


Inside the caves! My head lamp came in very handy, and looked very stylish


Easter-Long Weekend

Ohhh it was so cold!



13 more to go!!!! It was just under 20 km in total!



Mount Ngarahoe (AKA Mount Doom from the Lord of the Rings)



Emerald Lakes (or one of them atleast)


Mar and I


We just finished climbing that!



Gordon, Marilee and I!




Can you believe it! we ran into our gym teacher from high school!



The next day a bunch of us went kyacking!






We adventured under into a bridge, and they were channelling water so we first went under the bridge and then portaged across to this stream and then went into the bridge, and then had a race...of course
