At the end of 2011, Kerry's parents and sister and her boyfriend, Tom, all came for a holiday to sunny NZ! Great to see them all, and a good excuse for more holidays!
Firstly had a long weekend in Northland with Claire and Tom....a tiki tour of beaches, sunshine, waterfalls, big trees, eating, drinking, fishing trips...We hadn't been up that way before, so new places for all of us. Hired a bach for a couple of nights to explore the Bay of Islands. Success of the fishing charter wasn't what we'd hoped, but at least we caught something for dinner!
While Mum and Dad were hiking round the mountains of the South Island, Claire and Tom spent a weekend in Wellington to see where we live. Think they were more drawn to the wine-region over the hill (Martinborough) than the city! Can see why! But Wellington put on a lovely sunny day for them! Makes a change....!
Then the whole Somerton clan plus other halves (Ben and Tom) did the Milford Track in beautiful Fiordland. Were incredibly lucky with the weather, had a few perfect blue sky days. A four day (well, four half days really) walk through absolutely gorgeous scenery...just a shame about the sandflies and the snorers in the huts! Damn Aussies! Managed to carry three nights worth of fantastic food and plenty of drink - made everyone else on their boil-in-the-bag meals pretty jealous!
Will let the pictures do the talking! All in all a very good start to summer!
