Climbing Victoria Peak, Wellington - exhausted, this is the moment when mum and dad reached the summit to find a car park and now realised that they could have driven up instead :-)
Wellington once prepared itself for attack - here is one of the remaining canon left behind from that time modelled by myself.
Suvi modelling a totem pole at the peak above Wellington.
Couldn't resist the tyre swing on the way down.
Wellington Harbour sunset.
Moon and planet over Wellington on 22nd Aug 09....any idea's which planet this might have been?
Doing some more touristy stuff with mum and dad.... Wellington Cable car.....
....Te Papa museum ( 3D area )
On our balcony at Capital Motel, Wellington - Suvi trying not to look down....
.....errr
Almost splashing in the fountain at Napier.
Nice pic of mum and dad on the promenade at Napier.
Mighty Huka falls, Taupo......Suvi wishing she had a stick to throw in....
...ahh, there we go :-)
Modelling sweaty helmets at Rotorua Luge.
...mum picking up a speeding ticket :-)
...riding the chair lift above Lake Rotorua.
On our jetty at Lake Rotorua.
Evening stroll around the lake....
....with a spot of trout fishing of course....
....before returning to our cabin to warm up.
Next morning at Wai-o-tapu thermal park and the Lady Knox Gyser - couldn't resist this shot...all Suvi's suggestion :-)
Getting close to the action at Champagne Pool....
....was it worth the effort??
This place was amazing - Waimungo thermal area complete with steaming lake....
...and multicoloured pools.
The Koru....sign of spring time and symbol of N.Z.
On the jetty again....this lake was created in the late 1800's after a volcanic eruption. Luckily the volcano remained dormant for our visit.
More interesting road hazards.
What a 'hole' this was....Waihi's giant gold mine.
Back a bit :-) Beautiful waterfall on the Coromandle Peninsula.
'Finnish Vegetables' in the making in our cabin at Russell, Bay of Islands.
Mum and Suvi gathering shells once again on the beact at Paihia.
Local transport.
Russell sunset.
Wouldn't mind spending a night here on the waterfront at Russell. Unfortunately you would have to get arrested to stay here.
An unlucky Jon Dory on our sea fishing trip....
...He was on our dinner plate that evening....hmmm.
Hole in the rock, Bay Of Islands, on our 'No dolphin' dolphin tour.
These gulls had been trained to take food from the hand.
