Hines Family Adventure

The blog has been neglected over the last two weeks because the Hines family made the long journey over here. The family got to experience quite a bit in two weeks seeing Rotorua, Queenstown, Milford Sound and the Glaciers in New Zealand, as well as Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide in Australia. Some of the sites we saw in New Zealand:
Great colours at Wai-o-tapu
Family loved the Maori performance at Te Puia
Heather loved the sun and scenic surroundings in Queenstown
Mystical surroundings at Milford Sound where the mountains and water meet

Moss takes over the forest in Fiordland National Park
Waterfalls are a constant part of the landscape in Fiordland National Park
Heather was proud of herself after completing a steep hike overlooking Haast Pass

From the glaciers and surrounding rainforest

That’s it for now. I will post more pictures from our trip to Australia later. Off tomorrow for more adventures with college friend Matt Reinaker. Dana, Matt and I will be starting our Milford Track hike later this week.

  1. Just breathtaking! I really love that waterfall under Heather's hiking victory! Looks like Heather enjoyed herself also. I'm very jealous!
