Hi Everyone

We are on a 6 week trip of a lifetime visiting Singapore (2 nights), Perth (5 nights), Melbourne (4 nights), touring the South and then the North Islands of New Zealand for nearly a month, finishing with 3 nights in Hong Kong.

A wonderful opportunity to take photographs of so many contrasting cultures and landscapes. We would like to share a selection of images we have taken along the way on our Nikon D7000 and D800 cameras. We hope you enjoy them and continue to follow us on our adventures.

(The most recent post will be the first you will see so by working backwards and through the 'older posts' you will get to the beginning of the trip. Posts will be added when we get the selected images processed and internet access).

Enjoy !

Fiona and Alan

In the North Island now (note the cloudy skies) and this bridge was just one example of the interesting pieces of architecture that celebrates NZ’s Maori heritage and the relationship between land and sea.

Interislander Ferry - Picton to Wellington

April 16, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
This was the ‘small’ ferry we travelled as foot passengers from the South to the North Island via the Mount Cook Strait. The journey takes @ 3 ½ hours and you pick up another hire car upon arrival at Wellington. We had driven 2,600 kms in 12 days on the South Island so were looking forward to not driving while we were in Wellington.
