New Zealand!

New Zealand here we come!! I just finished reading wait but why blog on population density and~50% of the population of the world lives in Southeast Asia, India, China, Korea, Japan, etc. according to the blog. I like the density comparison, basically if everyone lived as densely as Manhattan, New York, then 7.1 B people would fit in New Zealand. It is nice to be in New Zealand where the total population is ~4.7 M with ~ 3.5 M tourist/year (according to the tour guides). Space! Clean Air! Nature!

Fiordland National Park (Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Dusky Sound):

Dunedin: St Paul’s Cathedral, Dunedin Town Hall, and Larnach Castle (there is an Alice and Wonderland theme in the garden, this reminds me of Sarah, she loves Alice and Wonderland!)

Christchurch: Botanical Gardens and desert! Carol L. and I share a love for dessert! The botanical garden cafes has great carrot cake – the carrot cake looks like the picture on this web site! Carol L., Mike, and I playing around! Monterrey Pine trees are the trees that New Zealand exports.

Picton: We went kayaking in one of the near by bays (there were a ton of jelly fish in the water)! Downtown Picton (War Memorial)

Wellington: Wellington Cable Car, Wellington Botanical Gardens, and new friends (I met Rose, Viv, and Katie in Vietnam and Cambodia! You will see pictures of Viv and Katie later!)
