I've realized that my time spent in New Zealand has not only flown by (I am nearing the end of my second visa extension) but has also been blessed with many wonderful visits from friends and family back at home... adding magical moments to this already incredible country.
Most recently my scientifically inclined friend, the Carin Berg, journeyed out here to escape her lab job and find some peace of mind. She hitchhiked, camped, cruised and sang her way across most of the country... in just 30 days and found time to come stay with me for 5 special days.
We went on a camping adventure to one of my new favorite places, Manapouri (film site to many fantastical scenes of the Lord of the Rings trilogy), where we picniced on cliffs, were eaten by sand flies, rowed dinghies across rivers, drank some whiskey and learned how to play new instruments.
Carin bought this fleece special for her kiwi adventure because it made her "feel like a sheep", so it seemed only natural to lock her inside the sheep yards for some fun and photos.
This photo is for Shola... i think she and her brother are the only people in the world who will understand it... carin was certainly confused about the idea of laying face down like a dead person for a photo!
The Ferg Berger and the Carin Berg-er... LOVE
*sunrise, sunset... and downward dogs*
Carin- YOU ARE MAGICAL!!!
