Thread: New Zealand South Island pics

Tweet

What a great visual vacation you have given us and what a beautiful family you have also. I know that posting great and numerous pics like this is no easy job and I call it "Abover and Beyond the Call of Duty" so let me thank you again for your trouble and your generosity.

Em

great pics----so, you took 2000, how many miles did you drive?? We average about pic per mile per trip------


after my nap I ran thru the rest of the ones you posted---when ya gonna do the rest of them???

Didn't have the time to study all the pics, but I will soon. Love the old Jawa speedway race bikes. It's wonderful that your getting out and taking it all in and it looks like there is a lot to see! I will revisit this thread when I can relax with a cup of coffee and take my time to enjoy it. eek: Thanks for posting this up... Not a fuzzy pic in the bunch.

Very nice pics . Really enjoyed looking at them . Thanks a lot for taking the time to share them .

From memory was about 1800km was in mid July during the kids school holidays.

Probably won't post any more as the majority are pics of the family, then again you never know
.

Thanks all. We had a great time

Very nice, those are some beautiful shots! Nice family you have there too! Thanks for the old air plane pics. I love seeing old airplanes!

That's all we have in New Zealand, old airplanes.

It was like a quick vacation...I can scratch off my family trip to New Zealand!
Thanks for uploading all the images.

Thanks for posting those Ross, that's pretty much the trip we have in mind to take Roger and Susan Spears on, although I had clean forgotten about the Highland Sports Museum.
It's new since we were last down in that area.
There's a lot to see alright!

...and the Spears want to see the North Island too...

It's going to be a fast trip!

(But I know we're looking forward to it!)

Thanks for posting, Ross. Using the direct post, four or five per post is torture for me, but great photos for sure. John, if I show all of these to Susan she'll say, "Oh that's grand! We've seen all of the cars & planes so now we can focus on the natural beauty of the countryside!!" It will be a wonderful trip!

Just remind Susan that this is only a small glimpse, Wanaka area is a must.
Yeah took a bit longer to post the pictures than I anticipated, but I got there and it's the only way I know how.

We are putting our trust in our local tour leaders, jb & Rosie! Hoping that the "Bus" gets completed in the next couple of months.....

Wonderful! Thanks for the trip; I got to the end and thought: "What? No more??" I am a wanderer deep down and always love seeing new places and things.

Kiwidreamer, in 2013 my wife and I took an ocean cruise around Australia, Tasmania and the south islands of New Zealand. We went through the sounds (Milford, Doubtful and Dusky) Didn't get inland much but stopped at many coastal towns. I'm here to tell you, New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places on earth!
