Today we got to the South Island finally and met up with Jim and Lynndeen in Queenstown. they met us at the airport and we got to go on the road up North on the West coast of the island. Tonight we are staying in Fox Glacier after about 6 hours of driving. We drove through a lot of nountains and farm areas. Strange seeing a glacial river, looking up at glaciers on the peaks while standing in the edge of a rain forest. Those things do not belong in the same frame in our minds. Here we are at Lake Wanaka, which is a real jewel.
When we got to Fox River we had dinner at an outside restaraunt and had a good meal. We could walk there from the Inn we are staying in, Nice country for sure.
This is Thunder Falls which we saw on the way to Fox Glacier.
We are pretty tired, not feeling very creative tonight. We are now where we wanted to be and in good company. We will keep in touch.
Yay! I'm glad to see your vacation is finally getting underway and you've met up with Jim and Lynndeen! The pictures are great! New Zealand looks amazing! Enjoy yourselves, Strohie, and don't feel guilty about it! :)
