today, i'd love to share some more of our honeymoon photos, if you'd like to see. :)
after our dreamy time in auckland and on waiheke island, we flew to queenstown. here, we rented a car and started the long drove to milford sound, new zealand's most famous fjord.
simon and i had so much fun driving on the left side of the street. at first, it was decidedly tricky and we couldn't stop giggling, but then we caught on and it became second nature.
we drove through rain, snow, sleet and sun. but when we arrived and saw this beautiful view, it was all worth it.
that night, we picnicked on cheese, salami, bread and wine, and then stayed in this cozy riverside chalet with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a river. it was so romantic.
the next morning, after a rainy, but amazing boat trip around the fjord, we drove back to sunny queenstown. we loved walking around the adorable city, going to cafes, bars and taking pictures by beautiful lake wakatipu. in fact, this was one of our favorite spots on the whole trip and we are still daydreaming about buying a second home there. :)
tomorrow, i'll be sharing the final installment of honeymoon photos.

ReplyDeleteNew Zealand is by far my most favorite place in the whole wide world. One day I hope to go back and live there. Ah to dream....
ReplyDeletehow lovely! also, i have very fond (and hilarious) memories of my husband driving us around foreign countries. the chart-topper is for sure when he drove us through rush-hour traffic past paris' arch de triomphe with a baguette in his hand and 8 lanes of cars on a round-about swirling around us. we just laughed the whole time (and he yelled "if you don't move over, i'm going to get american on your a**!!"). classic. anyway, thanks for sharing the first bits of married life with us. take care!
