the moon is made of honey

I finally remembered to upload the photos from our honeymoon. There aren't many, because we decided to enjoy the scenery instead of getting caught up behind the camera all the time. We have lots of fun memories stored in our head, like getting stuck behind a huge flock of sheep who were being herded down the road.

And also, I keep forgetting to put this link in. Here are our wedding photos, in case I forgot to e-mail anyone:

Feel free to pass that link to anyone who may be interested!

south coast of wellington
The day after the wedding. Photo taken from the roof of the house where we stayed, on the South coast of Wellington.

barry!
Our steadfast companion for the holiday - a FunCargo that we affectionately named "Barry". It was really short, but had a very high roof. I think we laughed all the way from Hokitika airport until we got to HariHari (where we were staying), about a 50 minute drive!

Franz Josef Glacier.

It felt like it was 2 degrees, and the wind was gusting at about 200km/h. Hence Jeremy's slightly pained look.

aaaiieeeee!

lake matheson
Lake Matheson, near Fox Glacier. Unfortunately the photo is too dark to see Jeremy, but you can see how beautiful the lake is. A nice walk from the carpark to that viewing jetty.

Apparently it was a nice drive between the glaciers, but I fell asleep, so I wouldn't know..

fox glacier
Fox Glacier. We couldn't get very close without having to do an hour's walk, and it was getting late. So picture is taken from a carpark.

hokitika gorge
This is at Hokitika Gorge. Can you tell that I'm trying really hard not to freak out? The swingbridge was moving in the wind, and there is a swift-moving river about 100m underneath...

hokitika beach
We spent our last afternoon walking around the beach. We played petanque in the sand. And I won.

And I saw my old science teacher, of all people!

Fabulous wedding attire. Your gown is so sophisticated and unusual, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the red shoes and stockings.
