Our journey back Home: New Zealand - Seoul - New York

 Last days on New Zealand's South Island.

 Mount Cook in the background, NZ's highest mountain.





 Where the mountains meet the sea, Kiakoura.
 If you ever wondered what a kiwi fruit tree looked like...! North Island.
 Cathedral Cove, Coromandel coast, North Island.
 Majestic Kaori tree, North Island.

 Snorkeling at Goat Island.
 Very Northern tip of the North Island.

 End of the road,  Cape Reinga, North Island.
 Old growth Kaori forest, North Island.
 This is the flightless superstar of NZ which we got to see at 4:00am in the Kaori reserve.
 David's scuba diving site... underwater caves and sea life galore.

 Last camping site in NZ.
 Welcome to bustling Seoul, South Korea.
 At the summit of a mountain we hiked in Seoul, SK. ( a very different experience than NZ!!)
 Korean market.
 A sea of buildings with mountains in between.
 Evelyn's sister Bianca, with an array of Hanboks, traditional Korean dresses, in the background.
 Evelyn and Bianca at the royal palace.
 Seoul at night.
 Matching in our Hanboks at Bianca and Gyoo Young's traditional wedding ceremony.


 New York City and a pretzel with mustard...good times at Times Square.
 Nature in Central Park.
 Back in Canada: we introduce you to Ebony...our most recent family addition.
 only 2 months old...
 Labrador with a mix of German shepherd and rottweiler.
 And very cute.
Seeing where the road will lead us next...
