New Zealand
New Zealand is great, it's stunningly beautiful and (so far) sunny.
We flew from Melbourne to Chirstchurch and then on from Christchurch to Queenstown. Queenstown is under-sold by the Lonely Planet, which makes it sound like a charmless place whose only redeaming features are bungy jumping, jet boating and other extreme stuff. In fact it's a town beautifully situated on a lake surrounded by gourgeous mountains.
Today we took the long drive to Milford Sound (until I put up the photos here, just do a google image search for it - oh ok , I'll do it for you.... see, it's pretty stunning). We left Queenstown in the fog, drove through the pouring rain, but afte rthe four hour drive it was stunning sunshine and looked very much like the photos - absolutley breathtaking.
The food here is great had a middle eastern style lamb burger last night, and a rack of lam on couscous and med style vegetables tonight - all very tasty.
Sorry for the typos, will hopefully upload some photos soon - I took over 100 in the last 24 hours so need to edit heavily!
Cheers,
Ali
