Ahhhh, slept in today! Felt rather nice after all those 6-7am mornings to catch a bus! I am in Queenstown, the “adventure capital” of NZ, trying to do anything but adventurous…

The trip here was very nice, the bus went from Lake Tekapo to Mount Cook first, where we had an hour to take pix or just sit and watch the immense valley and the South Alps. However, the summits of Mt Cook and others were veiled, dark grey clouds hung very low on that day…

Yesterday, I went for a daily trip to Milford Sound. Which is a misnomer, since it is not a sound, but a fjord. It was almost 9 hours in the bus for a 2 hour boat cruise, but well worth it. On the way there, the bus stopped at half a dozen or so pitoresque places to let us stretch our legs and stare in awe at the beautiful landscape.

Today, things are a bit relaxed. I gonna go on a wine tour for a few hours, and then plan the next few days.
