Melbourne through my iphone

Just got a new iphone and was very excited to experiment with photography on my new toy. I soooooo love Hipstamatic. Its amazing! Even turns my boring old shots into works of art! Below are a compilation of some of the photos from my recent girly trip to Melbourne...

Shotover Jet Boat Video

Have to say this was one of the highlights of my life racing in this boat through such awesome scenery. Hope to canoe and canyon through there one day too. See the video below. Amazing!

Shotover Jet Boat Video: See the Shotover Jet video. Watch the jet boats skimming at speed through the narrow Shotover Canyons, see full 360 degree spins, thrills and much more.

New Zealand

Well well this gal has procrastinated too long. Had an amazing time in New Zealand earlier this year. Been meaning to upload photos and will now finally do it. Have to say that New Zealand has the most beautiful scenery of any place I have been in the world so far. Followed a close second by Lake Como in Italy. Here are a few highlights :)

One of the reasons I was able to convince my husband to travel was reminding him that his favourite movie of all time LORD OF THE RINGS was made there! lol Below is one of the settings for the scene with the large statues either side of the ravine (trying to sound like I know what Im talking about l0l).

Apparently Xena is filmed in New Zealand and we stumbled across these costumes displayed in a shop/museum. Funny thing is, when I was in my 20's, my then boyfriend and good friend used to say I reminded them of Xena.... Must have been the leather lol

The spectacular view from our hotel window.

People may recall I am the cow whisperer. Tried to whisper this bull, but he was having none of it. Did manage to get him to crack a smile though. He really loved my knock knock jokes :))

Sheep whispering attempt.... see for yourself lol
