photos!

I have been a busy little beaver: I have added a bunch of photos from the last part of the NZ trip (I am working backwards, more or less) and edited links into my entries about those places. I also updated the entries a leetle bit. Finally, I decided to spring for a paid account because 1) I hate that non-lj people looking at my stories have to see stupid ads, and 2) some of you (grr) have Plus accounts, and I hate seeing ads when I comment on your posts. (Also, they have been showing me ads on my profile even though I had a Basic account, grr.) Anyway, new stuff:

12 photos of Queenstown and Te Anau areas (lakes and mountains!)
16 photos of Dunedin, the Otago Peninsula, and the coast north of Dunedin
4 photos added to Ball Pass set (now 22)
8 photos added to Milford Sound set (now 24 plus video)
10 photos added to Kepler Track set (now 15)

See 'em here in our NZ trip collection on Flickr!

Here is one of my favorites from the new uploads: Mt. Earnslaw looming over the north end of Lake Wakatipu.

That's right, campers, your lunch is shredded cabbage, and it's on top of that 9000-foot mountain! Now get up there and earn your slaw!

I love the smell of deathmarch in the morning!

I think that is a made-up country and you just painted that picture. There's no way that's real.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hee, until we finally got some decent weather and the clouds lifted, I was convinced the mountains had all been photoshopped in.

I'm fairly sure that New Zealand is actively trying to kill us all via natural beauty. How is it all so gorgeous?

Wow, the huge trees were really impressive! I can't believe there are trees that big.

Things grow really really well in NZ. They have not only their Kauri but also imported Sequoia from California.
