Driving around New Zealand has made me realize how much water there is in this country. First of all it's an island so obviously there is the whole ocean surrounding it, but then as you drive through the country there are lakes, fijords, rivers, creeks, streams, babbling brooks, waterfalls, glaciers, snow, ice, drips, and puddles.
Water, water everywhere. Michele has of course tried to submerge herself in all the water we stop at. Hwee!
Tomorrow we are again surrounding ourselves with water and seals! We're heading into the Abel Tasman National Park where we get to swim with seals. So EXCITED!

Posted by: ady on November 28, 2005 11:09 AMWe jinxed ourselves. We didn't get to swim with the seals. It was too windy so the water got all cloudy. We got to see the seals, but alas no swimming with the seals. sigh.

Posted by: michele on November 29, 2005 02:01 PMi thought they pooped on the trees and that's why they were all dead? though i didn't actually see any dead trees. or poo. though andy did seem convinced of it. though he also seemed convinced that there was some bird on tonga bay in the trees and i saw nothing. later it turned out to have been a duck. which really was a duck and not a not a duck at all. though there wasn't a duck. so i don't know what that means.
