But it was awesome.
Wait.
Beyond awesome.
We went on a LOTR tour (LC, just realised all the pics with me in it were taken with your camera!).
Spent over 12 hours on a bus going to and returning from Milford Sounds where we took a cruise and saw seals (the main point of the trip was really the scenery, but I like animals better :)
I sort of waddled my way off a cliff...
and survived :)
But the bestest bit of all was finally meeting a certain Mr. Tan whom I've known for almost 8 years now but never met (because he's such a stud and I'm too popular).
He not only gave us a roof over our head, he also fed us (like ten meals a day or something), taught us how to play Rock Band, drove us up to Hanmer hot springs where we soaked (and where I proceeded to get really dizzy and sick because I was dehydrated) and then stayed up with me till the wee hours of the morning for gossip and to watch E! 20 Hottest Women Alive.
He even stopped by the road on the way back so that I could harass some sheep (albeit unsuccessfully).
In New Zealand, every day is Sound of Music day.
(Photos will be updated in the near future as I am currently recuperating from not being on holiday anymore.)
