One very colourful guy in the church, who had amazing knowledge of New Zealand, the church etc. But also amazing memory for names and people... he remembered by name some Estonian girl who had visited the church several years ago, also he was rather well informed about Eurovision :) etc.

40-50 million sheep in New Zealand. The human population is ~4 million.
Te Anau, transportation in the mountains.
Milford Sound - one of the top tourist deitinations of NZ with annual rainfall of up to 7m. We were very lucky to enjoy the sunny sky in between the 1500m high mountains.
Rainforest around Milford Sound
Milford Sound, due to the height of mountains it is really hard to understand the actual distances. It seems that the mounains are just few hundred or so meters over the water, but actually the mountains that are further away are like 7km from me. It kind of cool to think about this when floating with a tiny kayak on the water.
Autumn in Queenstown, by the way on these mountains several scenes of Lord of The Rings were shot.
Queenstown
What berries are these? Furry and soft
This is one of the reasons I need to go back to New Zealand - Vertigo Downhill Bike Track. Why I just discovered this at the last evening in Queenstown?! Small single just next to trees with all its jumps, sharp turns...
Queenstown from top. Queenstown is the action sport center of New Zealand - downhill, gliding, whiteriver rafting, bunge jumping etc etc etc.
1 Mile tube that was bringing water for the Queenstown hydropower plant, built in 1924.
Stopped by the nature
So this is part of the team we were travelling. One guy was huge other was tiny.
... and then they went thought some srange mutations and then the tiny got big and big got tiny.... ahhh hard to get them :)
