Great pics!
I fell in love with your beautiful country back in October 1983 and have only been back once since. I am however planning a ski/snowboard trip there in August 2011 with my family. Can't wait...

Arh good old stinky town, that thermal activity gets on the nose, beautiful place though. Made me home sick (Im half Kiwi).
Gotta say it looked like a great trip, you must not have the draconian child seat laws as we do here in Aus, they have to be in a child seat, not booster until 7! Its the reason I've resolved to sell my 964 and get back into P world in a few years.

One last thing...your car looks SO MUCH BETTER dirty! That 'just finished the mountain stage look'.
cheers

Cool pics
We take day trips in a 993, kids 5 and 7 now. They (finally!) fit in the seats and belts really well and it's been a blast every time. We've used 993s for the whole family for years now. It only gets better.
After your post I think we need to consider some overnight trips
(Kellie, you see this? See, I told you it is a family car
)

They just the "Porsche" ones.
Yeah. A lot of people comment and point when they see us all in the 911. Most people don't realize they are a 4 seater.
I've posted this on Pistonheads as well and had the same q's. It's a donkey
Yeah they're just the simple Porsche ones as shown above. Just looking at Gracie going into the seat itself if the belts sit where they should.
The 911 is a great part of our relationship and we all enjoy it together as a couple and a family. My wife is not a car girl but it's great that I can enjoy my passion while spending time with her and now also with our kids. We look forward to our Sunday afternoon cruise, lunch at a Cafe and hanging out together. A little shopping doesn't hurt to keep things balanced.

Yeah the scenery was indeed stunning. The sulphur smell not so but I suppose all part of the experience

LoL did that last time we went to Taupo. Had a full day racing while family at the motel and then back to motel, pack up gear, porta cot etc and off. Was driving on road legal race tires too that time in the 964T. Only had Gracie then.

Thank you for sharing, you have a beautiful family! How many miles did you log on your vacation in your 993? NZ is on my bucket list, everyone that has visited your country says it is spectacular!
