Found a film I had forgotten about! 

Here are the last few photo's from Nina and Vince's wedding. Such beautiful memories. I wish we could be back there. 

It almost makes me sick with longing.

Okay, it's time to get down to the real business at hand. I've been holding off posting these photos cause I sent some copies out to Nina and Vince.

We went home to New Zealand to be part of our best friends' wedding. It was such a beautiful, emotional time and I'm so thankful we get to participate in celebrating something so special with people we love so much. I shed so many tears and got to hug and talk to so many people that we see and miss so much.

*gush*

Anyway, there are a quite a few photo's of the day and the time afterwards. So let's get on with it.

Views from the ferry to Seoul.

The sunset was so amazing. The views coming into Seoul were futuristic. I felt like I was on another planet. 

Aside from the horrible snoring Korean in our dorm (which resulted in us seeing amazing meteors, getting our own room and me having the most epic dream ever) the trip was spectacular. 

Our plans are up in the air for next year. Home? Turkey? Japan? Jeju island? A mix of all of the above? Live is hard, exciting things are happening back home, which it would be nice to be involved in. But are we ready? Going home seems serious, seems like, getting a good job and looking into buying some land. Exciting, but are we ready? Is it financial viable? Should we stay where we have good paying work?

Fuck. Life.

Man, look at that ocean. 

The cafe GRI:M (which means picture in Korean I think) was awesome, owned by a girl who lived in NZ for a year! And awesome coffee and grapefruit-ade.

It looks like I'm pashing that dog, and maybe I was, it's none of your business.

So, the first half of our trip, along with a separate trip to Jeju that we made with my parents, go undocumented because A) the film wasn't loaded properly in the film camera B) I left out digital camera in a taxi (along with all our keys, a jumper and many other things) so film is the only thing we have. This means your just getting the tail end of our trip, which is sad and makes me wonder what had been captured before! When I saw these photos I was blown away at how well they came out. It really just looks like it did at the time.

The there's a wee photo of me in my sun protection get up, with out tent and bikes in the back ground.

Pyoseon Beach, Jeju Island.

During the summer we biked around Jeju Island. It was awesome, and the island being rather small (200km) our daily biking was never too much. Though, regardless of that, some days were almost unbearably hot, and on the odd occasion smothered in the most overwhelming of stenches.

This was one of my favourite spots, nestled into some trees at a beach where the tide went out farther than I have ever seen. We stayed under that tree an awful long time before realising we would just have to make the trek to the waters edge. (of course it was worth it)

The evening bought some live music. Specifically the most untainted Reggae musicians I had ever seen. 

They were a little to highly strung, if you know what I mean.

(the next day we saw a wild dog with her pup! She dug it a wee hole to sleep in before going for a fossick around)

Island Hopping

Not really island hopping. Just one island. Which we camped at what seems an age ago. 

It was so beautiful though. And I night of debauchery and singing from the lifeguard tower. Or should I say vocal jamming. Which ending surprising early leaving us fresh faced for a moderately warm day of spring beach time.

So lovely, I hope we get back there.

More from the South.

I think the first two are on the drive to Milford Sound. Shall I rave about how amazing it is again? Nah, Ya'll just have to come down and see for ya selves.

View of Mount Cook from where we landed in the helicopter. 

Chillen in the grass near a waterfall. Jacob found some rosehip. I almost fell off the edge moment after this photo was taken.

Milford Sounds. Way down south. 

It's like nothing you will experience anywhere else down there.

The mist and abundance of waterfalls. The height of the cliffs that surround you 360 degrees. 

The feeling as the boat approaches the opening of the sound to the ocean that your on the edge of the world. That there couldn't possibly be anything else out there.

That this is it.

Imagine being the person who found that.

Imagine!!

Joined by the Canadians in Grenoble for a spot of green and napping in the sun. 

We got exactly what we went for. Our couch surfing hosts even gave us the house to ourselves on night. 

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
