The gang at Tumu Caves ready to go - New Zealand

Land of many things to do!!

Quickly, we do not have a lot of pictures from New Zealand as our digital camera at the time was crap. We did manage to find at least a couple of pics to put on the page.

We got engaged in Wellington at the botanical Gardens. We travelled New Zealand for almost three months and did many amazing things.

We both reccomend that you head to NZ yourselves, expecially if you like outdoor adventures and great beer.

Pros and Cons

Pros:This is a great place to visit and travel
Cons:The ocean is a little cool for watersports....
In a nutshell:Beautiful and underrated. Go see it and explore!

Last visit to New Zealand: Feb 2002

Didn't know they had rafting in Rotorura too. Too bad about the camera but you have great memories and what a place to get engaged! Thanks for dropping by my oldie NZ page too.

NZ is my dream destination but I know I will need more than just two weeks off to do what I want while there. Spelunking and rafting...reminds me of a trip I took two years ago to the northern part of my country. What fun!

Underground cave exploring and rafting sound fantastic. For me the only disadvantage of caves is that it's so difficult to take good pictures there haha.
