It was good to get some work done, enjoy some hot food, and meet new friends.

This was a super exciting day filled with a wonderful time hiking in NZ's spectacular outdoors.

We were definitely glad we had a car to climb up and down the hilly terrain of Wellington.

Peter wanted to wait one more day to make it to 7 days without a shower...but Lisa insisted on stopping at 6.

The water in New Zealand was sooo blue it's unbelievable! So amazing!

New Zealand is a beautiful place on its own, but add to it all the cool LOTR sites, and it's even more magical :)

This was an incredible scenic drive and the sound was totally worth the long drive!

Peter was excited to see where they had filmed parts of Rohan and the Pillars of the Kings in Lord of the Rings.

The beauty and creativity of God's creation is incredible. And New Zealand is a great place to marvel in its wonder.

From a piano and ping pong table at the airport, to a Cardboard Cathedral, to some beautiful streets and parks, Christchurch was a great start…
