Had the good fortune to take a group of students to New Zealand for 8 days as part of our Experience Week. The theme of our trip was adventure- stepping out of your comfort zone to try activities you may not otherwize do. One very full week- paintball,climbing, hiking, bungy jump, bungy swing, luge, white water rafting, shotover jet boat,mountain biking, horseback riding, kayaking and sailing. Truly a school trip of a lifetime.
We were on the south Island the whole time. Spent most of our time in Queenstown, Christchurch, Lake Ohau and Milford Sound. Beautiful country, beautiful people and awesome food! Gave me a taste for home........

Glorious morning in the Tasman Sea
tied up in a fjord- kids and I kayaked and swam- cold!
Climbing course the kids and I did- scared me more than anything we did
Mountain biking in Glenorchie- absolutely incredible country
Sheriff Bob and Zodiac- shot in Paradise (the name)- where Lord of the Rings was filmed-Rohan?

Loved seeing your photos. Reminded me of good times. There seems to be no photos of you on the morning of the last day. I will try and find one to show the family what an ambassador for Canada you truly are!
