From Dunedin we travelled to Bluff, had oysters (very salty), fish & chips and hung off the bottom of NZ. Then on to Te Anau, a quiet little village with a great little pub (great feed here) and a coupla drinkies.
On to Milford Sound; what a drive - it was spectacular (seem to be using that word a lot). The road went through a valley, just like in Lord of the Rings (Nan said) and a pretty scary tunnel. The Sound was beautiful and the weather fined up for the journey, saw a seal lazying on a rock and lots of snow melting into waterfalls streaming down the glacier scarred mountainside.
Onto Queenstown had a great pizza (and a coupla more drinkies); a spa (in our room, which is verrry up market!) this is the accommodation we bought cheap in Twin Waters and we had to sit through a sales pitch today to supplement the cost. Nan had a spa treatment, complete with Rotorua mud (for her birthday) and Pop had a ride on the Shotover Jet Boat (have a look at their website (www.shotover.co.nz) to see what he went through.
Tonight we are going to the Minus 5 bar for a drink, everything is ice (including the glasses!) and we'll feed up and have some more drinkies (for Nan's birfdee).
Off to the Glacier region tomorrow.
Will try for another PC somewhere to upload some more pickies (can't do it here.
Jai & Coben, please look after Pop's shed while you're visiting (he thinks there might be 'the usual stuff' in his shed fridge.
See ya'z
Nan & Pop.
XOXO
