Where's Old Zealand anyway?



A sweet little cave behind the Bridal Viel Fall. I had to hold it up so it wouldn't crush my head


Rhett, I think I dared him to climb it, or maybe he just did. Anyway, the company sure was impressed. He was up there for like 5 minutes while everybody ran to get their cameras.



Nothing like a road trip. Haha, if I die on my trip...will somebody blowup this picture and hang it like a flag over my casket? Mainly just Rhetts face...



The surf trip, Gisborne New Zealand. The little guy is ole Daveski



More falls on the way to Gisborne. Thats a lot of water aye


We would dive off this rock and swim underneath the water and follow the noise to where the waterfall landed. Then we'd pop up right underneath the falls. It felt like hands punching you right on the head and top of the shoulders. It kinda hurt, but man was it fun!




I like this picture cause the water drops and the jungle and waterfall and the sky and clouds all in the background.





I like this picture because Rhett looks very handsome, and muscular...

Dear Austin and Rhett,
We love reading about your adventures. You are living everyone's dream of going around the world like vagabonds.

How great that you are able to include temples, firesides with Apsotles, YSA events, church, scripture study, staying good LDS families and being treated like kings.

We have senior missionary friends, Elder and Sister O'Neil from Salt Lake who are in the Wellington Mission. She is secretary to Pres. Michael Finnigan and they are having fabulous experiences. They were at the fireside with Elder Bednar and had told us about it. What a spiritual feast. They said the Spirit was palpable throughout the congregation. You may have moved on by now, but if you should run into them, tell them hello from the Allens.

Keep on having fun and be safe!
Much love,
Carolyn Allen
