What a month!

So, on the 11th of October, John and I got married. We had a wonderful day. There were a few glitches along the way but nothing major and it appeared that our guests didn't notice. Besides, at the end of the day, all that matters is that we got married.

On Sunday the 12th, we had a brunch for people, very informal affair. It was nice to talk to some people that we really hadn't been able to talk to during the reception and just to hang out with family and friends. Later, John and I opened our gifts together. :)

Monday the 13th of October, we headed off for 25 days in New Zealand!! It was an absolutely amazing. The country is beautiful beyond belief. The people were really friendly. We got to climb part of a volcano, hiked on a glacier, kayaked in the Tasman Sea, cruised two fjords, saw penguins and seals in their natural habitats, and saw a variety of flightless birds, including a flightless parrot!

Yesterday, we ventured on the incredibly long journey back home (with two planes delayed) but finally made it. Today, we transferred all 5330 pictures taken on our honeymoon to the portable hard drive and John rotated them all! And yes, we did take over 5,000 pictures! And yes, that means that there will be a lot of blogging happening...
