Living in the Moment... WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW???

Each day is a gift.... What you do with it and how you treat that gift is crucial!!!!

In my 10 days left, what is it that YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE???

Please feel free to ask me anything you would like to know ( it could be about an Experience, place, New Zealand, myself, something I did not cover much of, etc....) and I would love to try to answer it the best I can!!!
 Just ask your question in the comments of this blog post!!!
Because trust me, there are a lot of things I would love to know about different topics but I never ask!

 Please fellow followers, EMBRACE THE MOMENT and if you would like to know anything just shoot the question under this blog, and you do not even have to put your name!!!! I would love to get back with you as soon as I can!!

It is all great for the heart and soul!!!!

Doubtful Sound... A Sight To Behold

Doubtful Sound in one word...... Majestic!

A pure gift from the dear Lord up above!!!!!
Pilot and I went on this tiki tour, a branch off of our Queenstown Study Break Trip, on Tuesday June 2 as the girls went on to Wanaka and indulged in a different adventure!!! 

Welcome to The Fjiordlands ;)

A little history about Doubtful Sound....


Sometimes called 'the Sound of Silence', there is a cloistered serenity within Doubtful Sound that contrasts with Milford Sound. The fiord is rich in flora and fauna, New Zealand Fur Seals and Fiordland Crested Penguins can be seen on many of the small islets at the entrance of the fiord.
At 421 metres deep, Doubtful is the deepest of the fiords and is long and winding with three distinct 'arms' and several outstanding waterfalls in the area from Deep Cove to the open ocean, a distance of around 40.4 kilometres.
Manapouri is the departure point for Doubtful Sound excursions.




Please relax and immerse yourself in Doubtful Sound.........
