Kwak Photo Adventures (Cruise to Mex)

[kian]

Sick of your pictures, not a chance!! The one where your really using your arms would have done me in the next day!

This next set reminds me of Yellowstone, except the foliage is so different. It's a pretty place, love all the colors.
We saw the Maori Dancers in Hawaii, they were dressed nearly the same. I so enjoyed watching them, the facial expressions and the music were incredible. I see they have Poi balls, I learned how to use those growing up, they are fun to do. This would have been so fun to watch in New Zealand.

WOW!!! Kris, how could we possibly get tired of your pics??? They are AMAZING!!! I have never seen bubbling mud before...so cool And the steam (is that steam?) coming off the water...really beautiful pictures!

[kian]

I think I 'm stuck


OK. Here is how I got in and out of this one as you requested Kian.
First climb up wall

Then turn around to go feet first

Feet in smile for the camera

Then slide on out


Group photo time


I see the light


OK, now to climb this wall to get out


I made it to the top


My guides

The guides are cuties! I love that your friend got the step by step on how you did that, so cool. Love the repelling, that I would like to do and explore the cave, just not the spaces so closed in. The pictures are beautiful, your friend got some pretty ones. I would love to see those Glow Worms!

The light beams are pretty, but climbing up that wall.... not so sure at my age! Guess no elevators in there...LOL!

The guide on the left was the photographer too. My friend didn't do this with me. I did it on my own. She didn't think she could do it. Her loss. It was absolutely amazing. The climb up was a killer. I slipped a couple of times. Good thing I had a harness on. Those rubber boots were not the best rock climbing equipment. But I did manage to make it.

Kris that is such a wonderful adventure to have done, great memories! You didn't know the girls you went with, where were they from? That would be fun to meet different people and do such a fun activity together.

[kriswak]

They were from Germany. Taking time off before university to be Au Pairs in New Zealand on the South Island. They were taking a little vacation before heading back home to Germany.

Wow, Kris, what an awesome adventure you went on! The cave is beautiful and i love that pic of you all with the head lamps on, the lighting in the cave is remarkable! Oh, and the one with the sun rays beaming in!! And the one of the rock wall before you started heading up, the one after the sun ray one...i could go on and on....gee, do ya think i like your pics I hope you have more. I can't get enough!

Kwak, I am so thoroughly enjoying your photos! I tried to use the one with the light streaming through as my "Desktop Background", but it's too dark around it, and I'm hopeless with Technology. I didn't think you'd mind me "stealing" one of your photos. It means something to me as you actually saw that, and probably took the photo!

What an amazing adventure. Those Guides aren't too bad either. Of course Kian noticed them right away, vixen that she is! I think she would have nearly fainted if they were wearing Chaps! Yee-haw!!!

Loving, loving, loving your pictures!

[kian]

Just chaps?

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

LOL!!!!! OK, and a Cowboy hat!

[kian]

Just Chaps and a cowboy hat....I got that visual!

[kriswak]

You two are funny.. Only one more day of pics left to upload. I will try to get them up in the next day or two.
Sorry I don't have one of them in their chaps and cowboy hats.. But I'm sure your visual is correct. lol
