First the luge. Where I think some off us look good in our helmets and then there are the others. Stay out of the way of the dads.

Shotover
Here we are all getting ready to go on the Jet boat on the Shotover River. Hope these outfits keep us dry.
Mum and Jane are not coming on this adventure they are going to sit by the fire and have a warm cup of coffee.
Are we all ready. Let all hold on tight!
Queenstown... Yeah
We have finally arrived in Queenstown where we can stop for 5 days with no more big drives.
Still playing pokemon -----------ah
We did have the best bus driver who stopped whenever we needed food
or a stretch. Thank you Dad/Graham
Lunch stop at Wanaka
This is where we stopped for lunch on our way to Queenstown for devon and tomato sauce, peanut butter and vegemite gourmet sandwiches made from the back of our limo (12 seater bus).
What a beautiful place to stop, we also had time to skim rocks across the lake.
Amazing Times
Puzzle World was lots of fun with lots of puzzles to play. It also had the best maze that took some of us a long time to find our way out.
Dad - what way do I go.
We have reached 3 of the 4 corners. But how do we make it to the green corner. Could we duck under one of the fences. ???????????
Darcy found this puzzles the night before we visited Puzzling World at the restaurant at Haast. He persisted for a very long time and did not give up until he solved it.

Across the Sea
This is the view as we were leaving Wellington harbour. The ferry holds 600 car, trucks and buses and also 1600 passengers. It has a cinema, restaurants, and some fun things to play.
Think dad was looking forward to sitting back for 3 hours and enjoying the view. Dad did go and take care of mum thou.
Looks like we have started our own Interislander Pokemon club. We met two people(Jack& ???) who where playing Pokemon on our trip between islands. We will stay in contact via email.
On our way to Wellington
We keep busy on our travels with DVD's to share and Ds's and our music.
This is the view on our journey from Rotorua to Wellington. You can see the trailer it has all and I mean all of our luggage in it.
Tomorrow morning we will be boarding the Interislander Ferry to take us to Picton so we can explore the South Island.

Whakarewarewa Thermal Village
They do call it Whaka for short.But the real name consist of 37
letters. Nan and Kayla see if
you can pronounce it.
.
We are trying to be Maori Warriors.
The Waitomo Caves
It was cold in the caves we need our coats and beanies.
Some of the stalactites and stalagmites that we seen. These one looked like people in a nativity scene. We then went into the gloworm cave but we not allowed to take photos. It was like looking at the sky full of stars.
Relaxing after our cave adventures.
Antartic Encounter
We visited Kelly Tarltons Antartic Encounter and Underwater World in Auckland.
We got to see people in the pool feeding the sting ray and lots of Penguins.
At the Sydney Airport
Here they all are ready to go.
Think we are going to have lots of fun together. Poor Emma - how will she cope with all of these boys?????

New Zealand here we come!!
Hey Mum & Dad,I have the tickets you are not
going on holidays without us this time.
I am just putting a few things in my backpack to take to New Zealand. We are going with our friends Chris, Tom and Emma. We will have lots of fun and we all can't wait to go skiing. Two weeks together exploring NZ.
Sorry Nan and Pop - we know that you would want us to stay with you like we did earlier this year but we really did miss Mum and Dad so we are not letting them go without us ever again. We will miss you both. Love Riley & Darcy. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
