New Zealand - Day 6ish // I'm losing track

Loud thunder rolling into Bay of Islands tonight.  You can see the flashing of lightning off to the east.  The ocean sturs.

We've had some awesome days.  Yesterday we drove north with a few cameras rolling; a GoPro stuck to the outside window of the van, a 5D MkII and a 7D.  Manahi brought his pocket dolly and got some great shots.  Brian Going and I jumped into the water and we shot some stuff there with the GoPro.  Something happened to Manahi's GoPro and it records really bad, pixelate images.  Like a satellite without the proper signal.  I think his camera is bogus.

Today we were with a mom and her three boys.  They were super fun to work with and really cute.  We filmed her getting the kids ready at 6:30 am and follow here until she dropped them off at school.  Then we met up with her at her clinic, she's a doctor.  and she's mega cool.

The ice cream and fish 'n chips we ate along the way were really good too.  We still have Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch and a few others to go to.  In the meantime, I'm about to fall asleep.  Here are some pictures.

I Like My Apples Crisp

And the Big Apple was certainly just that, crisp.  Crisp as in cold.  19 degrees with a windchill down to 11.  And its a little humid.  Don't leave your food outside or it may get freezer burn.  All in, it was a great trip.  Had some time to see some friends and ran around the town a bit.  It's good to back and wrapping up Mormon.org.

On a side note, did you know that the New York Macy's Wikipedia is the largest department store in the world?  A short bio: Founded in 1858 by a sailor (Rowland Hussey Macy) with a red star tattooed on his hand.  It now has 2.2 million sq ft of retail -- covering one city block and rising 11 stories.  There are 6 Starbucks in side.  It was the first store to offer free home delivery and free toilet paper in the restrooms.  The first day of business brought in $11.08 ($279.82 today) and in 2009 Macy's ran $24.89 billion in sales... pretty amazing.
