Our holiday in pictures

All aboard on a lovely winter's morning.



Our charger awaits.





Goodbye Wellington!



There are lollipops and balloon animals onboard.




The ubiquitous colouring competition.




Hello South Island!





Kaikoura has a playground.



The inevitable roadworks.




The inevitable nudey butts!




Dancing with cuzzies at parties.




Driving towards snow-covered mountains.




Walking to the lake.




Cracks? What cracks?




Orla and assorted family members.





Orla whizzing across the ice.




Aidan shows how thick the ice is. (And if it had cracked, we would have been plunged into icy cold water up to our...knees! Or maybe shins).



Ewan wanted to try the earth raisins.




Across the lake.



Perfect morning for an outside coffee! (Yes, the bottom number was the temperature).




Cart ride in the frost.




Soccer.




Never too young to learn to drive!




Going home. The only thing that made Orla smile was me saying "fake farts". Must have been the alliteration.



Tunnels.



The obligatory fuzzy shot of seals.
