2025-04-12 19:46:50 +0000 UTCBetter late to the party than never there…this was so nice! Thank you! NZ has always been at the top of my list to visit and it was fun to go “with” you. It’s cool to see things that are similar to where I live - weeping willows and cherry blossoms - but also so different - spring there when it’s fall here (time and seasonal differences is a slight obsession of mine “If it’s 10 AM here then it’s ## there…” and on and on). Anyway, I ramble.. thanks again for the guided tour. We even got a little (or not so little) Moby appearance 😂😋🥰

2022-01-12 01:24:06 +0000 UTC2️⃣ Gorgeous views all the way 😍… 🖐🏾 to splurging out on room on top floor to start with. Hehehehe… you and your 🛀 … yeah, love how you can look out over the water when in it. 😍 😂 “… it has a bath too. Just try keeping me away.” You’re too adorbs. We had a lovely bath in our room for weekend spa break I organised, at a Hilton hotel. 😉 But only one of us got to use it - spa and food and relaxing were the priorities. Next time. 🙃 🙃 aww @ the duck gliding across the water… how its legs are powering under there while it looks so calm and relaxed up top. ⛴ The first boat ride reminds me of us travelling into the heart of Bangkok from our first hotel on Thailand holiday. So relaxing, and it’s lovely to take in the area from a different vantage point than walking or being driven. 🙂 🙌🏾 Always a good sign when bodies of water are drinkable… shows they haven’t been tainted by MAN... And it makes me smile, thinking of ancestors and how they lived there and would have used it for so many purposes. 🌳 Is that a Willow tree❓ Just love how its vibrant green is a focal point as we say hello to the town. Like an opening scene in a TV series. Giving me such a homely feeling. Pounamu 💚 … looked it up and one of the images I saw immediately took me back to the cover image of the BODY ART audio. 😍 And what your fave tattoo symbol is. Psyche! - my smile when I then heard you guide us to that same audio. 🖐🏾 My mind can’t help but flitter to another word I learnt growing up in the Caribbean… punani 🤭😊 I’ll let you look that one up… Mowa? Giant formida? torpedo flightless birds ➡️ then my mate Google hooked me up. 😀👍🏾 They were mahoosive… making me think of relation to dinosaur… but also an ostrich… 🙂

2021-12-12 00:55:03 +0000 UTC1️⃣ Re-watched 11.12.21 💜 how the whole trip starts off early… taking me back to NATURE WALK… love seeing the beautiful hues as the day awakes… 😍 Knew you’d share historical nuggets every now again, thank you. Wow William… so creative… “Camp” 😀 Driving, down long roads, without a care in the world, with good music… so fun right? 🙃🎵🤸🏾♀️🚗 Hehehehe @ peach arse… OMG, what company put that there and what are they advertising❓ 😃 Never snowboarded or skied either… two things I still want to try. Head off to a lovely resort, settle into a scrumptious room with log fire burning, looking out at panoramic shades of whites mixed with blues and blacks… peppered with the reds and yellows of lights. Put my feet up and enjoy a mug of hot chocolate. 🔥🪵☃️ Hehehe.. love that you showed a bit of each part of your skiing adventure, including the spills. 😀 @ you ditching instructor and group. Glad the sun was spreading its rays, adding light and hopefully some warmth? 😏 But I guess the important thing is to dress for the weather, right? How many layers did you have on? When you were zipping up it looked like it might have been two under the white top❓ How did your thighs and calves feel? Lots of squat-like motion or not too much? Takes me back to skating in an ice rink, for me it’s always a re-learning experience and my thighs feel it afterwards. 😂 “Yeahhh, watch me flex overtaking lil kids.” Ha - my mind goes back to Kick-Ass which I landed on 3/4 way through last night (I would have sworn Aaron Taylor-Johnson was American 🙂, what a movie… what a talent, ❤️ him)… anyhoo, in the words of Kick-Ass: Why don’t you pick on someone your own size? 🧐😃 But of course you lost that footage… 😁😂
