heya from te anau

hey guys,

just a quick post from te anau. internet is so expensive here.
we're about to catch a helicopter up over the mountains and land near mt luxmore on the kepler track where they leave us to walk out for the rest of the day. there's snow up on mt luxmore! then we catch a boat back to te anau. should be wicked.

then tomorrow we're going on a kayak into milford sound. sorry dad, we're not going to doubtful sound cos it costs over double what milford does for everything.

we're spending new yrs at a backpackers here which is on the lakefront. there are fireworks and stuff here and lots pubs even tho its a pretty small town.
so hope u all hav a happy new year if we dont talk 2 u before then.

love youse all
sam says"bye"

Your photos are beautiful, thanks, nanna & I enjoyed them and your amusing commentary Samuel & Alyssa (now might be the time to improve on "Slippery Sam" as a title Ails.)
What the heck are you doing Ails in the photo demonstrating your hair defying gravity? Is that your alternative to Bungi Jumping? If so, I can live with that.
Who has got fat, due to training?
Didn't have time to double check who was writing at the time. ie. who broke the bed? Or were you in on the act together? Don't bother with the details........
Your van looks homely, I bet you wish you could stay forever, if NZ
was a little further north.
