Mishaps...

'Our trip to New Zealand was terrific! It was full of many highlights and exciting adventures but there was a few down sides...

Things that went wrong....

We didn't take any chances with the plane home.

 1. Nearly missing flight - you know your in trouble when your still in the security line, it's 9.20am and boarding commenced at 9am. Seeing "final call" on the board makes you run really really fast!.

Before we sprinted through the airport!

2. Hiring gear at top of mountain- paying twice as much up the mountain rather then in town was not worth the "convenience". 

Ready to ski

3. Not checking out closest supermarket till the second last day - who knew there was a huge supermarket only a block away! 

4. Losing a shoe from my only pair of shoes - up side? Gained a new pair of converse!

My tough boy!

Tiki trail Queenstown  

5. Talking on tiki trail  within one hour - only I could think that an up hill hike, in the rain, on a time limit, with an 8 year old would be a great idea.

6. Not having time to go to Milford sound - disappointing that we missed it, but two young kids + bus +cruise +12hours  = me having a break down.

The Remarkables

Coronet peak

7. Buying a 6 day pass to Coronet peak and The Remarkables - very cheap early bird ski passes but limiting...Guess we will have to return to check out the others!

8. Not taking kids rain jackets - I packed mine....

Rain while going up the Gondala, Queenstown  

See you later!
