Lambs lambs lambs

Yesterday we did a great tour of Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound which included a 4 hour bus ride each way and a 2.5 hour boat ride in the Sound. We seem to have some sort of weather karma--we were in Ayers Rock for one of the 3 days of rain, the sea was calmer then normal during our snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, and yesterday we had one of the few days of sun and calm waters at Milford Sound.

New Zealand is known for having more sheep then human residents and yesterday I believe we saw many of those sheep residents. Since it is spring here, it is also lamb season and oh they are cute. There must be some sort of lamb camp they go through to be sure they know how to be super cute when tourists pass by. They were seen bounding across the fields, curled up sleeping, there were two curled up with their heads together so they formed a heart shape (such a postcard) and we even saw several lambs perched on top of their mothers back!

There was an incredibly high cuteness factor in those fields.
