Easter in the Sounds

Once again we made the pilgrimage to the Marlborough Sounds for Easter with the extended Bouman family. Last year, David made himself known with the last throes of morning sickness. This year, he was ever more present! While babies don't really allow for a relaxing holiday, we enjoyed the time away and were able to appreciate the beautiful scenery that is the Sounds.
We had a fantastic holiday home that we managed to all fit in (with the aid of an extra cottage on site), with beautiful views. This photo is sunrise from the kitchen window (yes, I was up at sunrise, but it was about 7.30am!!)

Easter Sunday was very special with a dolphin encounter - we came across a pod of hundreds, complete with mother and baby swimming in synch side by side, right next to the boat. It was such a beautiful sight, made even more breathtaking when they started jumping fully out of the water in front of us.

We also walked some of the Queen Charlotte track together on Easter Sunday - from Punga Cove through to Furneaux Lodge, while Mike and Scott finally managed to catch our dinner (bad fishing all weekend!).
