Coming Soon....

New Adventures.

I do have my old blog as a few of you may know. However, I feel this blog is more me. More the me I want to be and have become in the past few months/years.

So consider this my new full time blog. I know I never really finished all my wonderful, amazing stories (because you know that's what they are,) about New Zealand, so whenever I'm having an off day, or don't know what to write about, I'll write about New Zealand.

But I'm going to start writing about the "Beyond" part of this blog.

I hope you enjoy.

Coming Home

I’m headed home today.  This song has been running through my head for the last day or so.  Super weird video, but it’s been in my head (specifically the chorus)

 

 

There’s still so much I need to post, but right now I need to focus on getting home, and my luggage is giving me problems…

Walking On Air

 

Not only do I look like a criminal, but I felt like one too.  I had my first breathalyzer test of my entire life, and was metal detected(?) before I was allowed to go up on the SkyWalk.

Getting nervous.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m totally crazy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really like this picture, like a lot.

 

Cool Photo Op, so of course I took advantage of it

The Skytower was really cool.  I took a minute to warm up to the idea of walking around the outside of the tower, but after the first 5 or 10 minutes I was okay.  It was really cool, and you could see soo much.  Also, while I was on the the SkyWalk I saw a full rainbow, as in it was a full circle. And for a brief minute there was two.  The most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life.

Howick Historical Village

I’m too tired to think of a good title, so deal with it

Anyway, we went up to Auckland yesterday and went to a street market, man I love those.  The atmosphere alone is enough just to go.

Then we went to Howick Historical Village, a site where buildings have been brought in from the time period of 1840-1880.  It was really neat, especially cause we happened to go on a “live day” so everyone was in costume and character.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fetching a Pail of Water.

The stinkin’ cutest little girl ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cause I’m the teacher.  Get it? hehehe.  I thought I was clever.

 

 

 

The Maypole Dancers.  Super cute, and kind of neat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would highly recommend anyone to go to Howick, I learned a lot, and had a lot of fun.  I will post Skytower separately, because I have too many pictures

Wandering through Middle Earth

I can’t post any pictures of Hobbiton, nor can I really write anything about what I saw or heard because of a binding contract I signed in order to enter Middle Earth.  Pretty Crazy stuff.  So basically, if you want to see any pictures or hear any interesting facts about The Lord of the Rings, you will have to contact me when I’m back in the states. Cause that’s just the way it is.

As you can probably tell from this photo, it was quite rainy.  Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle.

You’ll just have to come to New Zealand and see for yourself!  A-Mazing
