Abel Tasman Nat'l Park, NZ
Think NZ, think stunning scenery, sheep, beer and rugby. The fact that New Zealand is an island in the south Pacific hit us over the head today as we experienced this tropical paradise by boating, hiking and swimming. We hiked 7 miles through rainforests, viewed seals, collected shells and watched cormorants (or shags as the kiwis call them) fishing. It's a full moon so the tides have a 4 meter range. We watched the low tide recede at 3cm/minute and had to hike through the shallows to reach the water taxi. "Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful," Jeff
"Heart stopping gorgeousness," Maya
"I'll get back to you," Skylar
Our next stop is Franz Josef Glacier. Cheers!

Go go Zundels! I'm loving these blogs.
Well Skylar, I'm waiting for your description of New Zealand...
Enjoy friends!
We are LOVING hearing your adventures of foreign education and distant shores...thanks for keeping us informed even with visual aides! Good luck driving that boat on wheels.
XOXO,
Jana & family
This blogging...this wandering the world with you day by day...makes it feel oddly small, and you all so close, which of course we are, but it boggles the mind...which, of course, is good thing... Blessings, this Web, and the Weaver...ENJOY MB
Hi groovy travellers
Enjoyed your observations on NZ. I think Izzy and I will do our utmost to rendezvous with you when you reach Europe.
Have fun...love to all, Pamela Martin and Izzy
We are, of course, insanely jealous. Fortunately, we love you even more than we envy you. (And that's saying a lot, inasmuch as the wind chill yeterday was 12 below zero.) Thanks for taking us all along with you as virtual travel partners. See you in Ashland at the end of July!

Hi, Zundels!
I'm impressed you have time to devote to constructing such a well-designed and written web site. Even if you did not write one word, the pictures say it all. Drink in all this beauty and adventure for all of us!!

Hi Friends,
The pictures from NZ tropical paradise were breathtaking- I especially loved Split Apple Rock. I don't know if its the name of the place or the scene itself, but for me it is evocatively "edenesque".
Your adventures are becoming a family ritual for us- get up and check the Zworld travelers blog.
Thanks for sharing,
Melissa (Ken & Helena too)
