Trip to Queenstown

Snowy trip to the winter capital of NZ, Queenstown. Amazing scenery and good snowboarding. Juha and I also got caught in a snowstorm climbing up a mountain, which was very exciting!!

Tiritiri Matagi

Visiting Tiritiri Matangi (bird sanctuary island) with Grants friends and Juha.
It was absolutely awsome weekend. We spotted hundreds of birds. One bit my hand mistaking me for food. We also saw Tuataras (New Zealand's biggest lizards), blue penguins and Kiwis! and for a bonus got to watch 20 dolphins play in the water 50m from us. Grant and Mark even went in the freezing water to swim with them. Amazing!
