Despite a crying baby on a 14 hour flight, we landed, although unexpectedly due to a window seat without a window, in beautiful New Zealand. The lush green grass just right outside the airport was only a small indication of the glorious sites we were and still are in store to see. Noting that sunrise in New Zealand is approximately at 8:30 am, you couldn’t help but to feel like it is 3 in the morning inside the bus (if the sun isn’t up, i shouldn’t be either.). All the rough traveling was completely worth it when just enough sunlight appeared to see out the window. Excitement in voices and pointing of the fingers was all that filled the bus as we arrived to Milford Sound. We then whipped out our wicked camera gear and went straight to work. This tour boat ride consisted of mountains, dolphins, numb fingers, peeking sun, A LOT of waterfalls, many laughs and all in all some fantastic shots. It wouldn’t seem like it, but becoming trigger-happy is quite exhausting. Our energy was quickly powered up though when we stopped to either enjoy scenery or explore trails in the forest. This was quickly dissolved when the 11 hours without lunch started to kick in on the bus. Peter and Gemina finally decided that we were worthy of food (JK) but we did have some greta pizza. Still food crazy, we went grocery shopping and it was very interesting to see how a bottle of water could cost $4.99. Yeah, I don't think so. To conclude the night we had some family bonding during orientation and had to name our cameras. I will now be posting and taking pictures from my new significant other, Elliott. I think he might be in it for the long run.
