Corromanda

This is at Hahei after a big day of hiking and hot beaching it.
Weston loved it!
Hot Water beach. The water here is super hot as there is a thermal heating thing going on. If you did a hole like Tucker did here, you have the hotest hot tub you have ever felt! You just have to figure out how to keep some cool water flowing into it to not cook everyone.
One of the coolest things about New Zealand is that most hikes go through people's private property, and it is no big deal. This was a cattle field.
Weston eating the sand. His diapers suffered a bit. But he enjoyed it.
Tucker's cool hammock for Weston. He took a great nap here while we swam.
Emerald Cove. The rocks were super pretty here.
Tucker the Totem Pole
Hahei Beach, we stayed in a little batch right down the road from here and were able to walk to the beach in 3 minutes. We got to stay in the Batch for practically free as it was on of Cheri's mom's friends.
Cathedral Cove

Corromanda is a beautiful peninsula above hamilton on the east coast of the south island. We had a great time here!!! Probably our favorite spot in New Zealand.

Raglan continues

We had some really good fish and chips here too.

Hamilton and Raglan

This is my friend Cherie and her two kids. We had a good time on the north island with them.

Maori Village

We had a fun time at the village. We got to learn a bit more about Maori culture. I nominated Tucker to be our chief, which was pretty fun cause we got to know a lot more people. They cooked our dinner in an underground oven. It was tasty.

Rotorua the Town

Rotorua is the cultural capitol of New Zealand. In this spot there is an Anglican Church facing the Maori Marae. The town in built on lava warmed steam baths. They bury their family above ground as they would hit hot water if they buried them below. We had a fun day here.

Caves in Waitomo

This was at the glow worm caves in Waitomo. The caves were sweet! We just walked through cause we had Weston, but one of the caves you can go white water rafting in. The caves are filled with glow worms which light up the ceilings above the streams and rivers that runt through the caves.

Fox Glacier and Bungy Jumping

We went bungy jumping off the original bungy jumping bridge. I was scared. We jumped together and Weston was pretty sad thinking we probably were not coming bad. We probably should not have let him watch, he will probably be traumatized for life!

We are in front of fox glacier here. It was beautiful. Next time we go we are going to take a tour up on the glacier.

Milford Sound

Weston Weighed in at 9.5 kilos.

Milford Sound was really pretty even though it was pretty foggy.
