New Zealand Jungle???

I went to Milford Sound last week which was an amazing drive. I love to just get in a car and drive forever so this trip was great just me and the road for a long time. Although peeps in NZ say being in the car for 3 hours is a long time. Pshhhhh! I've slept in the drivers seat driving through Nebraska for longer then 3 hours! I probably pick that up from my grandma. RIP Grandma Byrn.

The picture up top is after we took the boat out to sea and were coming back in. This is off of the South West side of the Southern Island in New Zealand. There were some dolphins playing next to the boat and some seals sun bathing on some rocks and a couple penguins that I got to see (nobody else was looking, hahaha, suckers)

There was a big waterfall that pictures wont do justice, or video for that matter, so thats why I will give you both?!?!




A boat that I decided we were racing.....we won!


The outlet headed out to the ocean. These mountains were so massive, and just straight up.


I wandered off the beaten path when I heard some water and this place looks like a jungle with a bunch of ferns and vines and what not. The drive down to milford you drive through what seems like every climate there is from dry desert conditions to lush green jungle.


This is a waterfall that I found and decided to climb up the rock face to find the source or a pool of some nature. Without a very much needed machete and a sprained ankle I got about 15 feet up and almost fell. I decided this was close enough.


I saw a HUGE waterfall off the side of the road so I thought I would take some video of it. The sound you hear is off some rapids downstream a bit. The water was so clear and so deep here I decided a swim was in order.


After all this beauty I needed a good dose of death and destruction. The mountain was closed one day so I came in to Christchurch and caught a punk rock show. The Exploited were in town and are an old skool punk band from the UK. They sing such lovely songs as:

F*#! The System
Your an F*$%ing Bastard
F@#% the U.S.A
F*^$ing Liar
System F*#&ed Up &
Sex and Violence


They have quite the repertoire and their diction is quite diverse. It was a good show because for the most part you can't understand what they are screaming so you just get to listen to some good punk music with out all the crap. But I really just had to see the band that played some music from one of my favorite movies.

I'm off to drive across the country again. Peace!
