Queenstown is the adrenalin capital of New Zealand, with bungy jumping, sky diving, jet boating and all manner of variations available to hordes of British backpackers. We were more than happy just chilling out by the lake and watching the Brits do what they do abroad. It was a hot day, so that suited us just perfectly!The following day we drove down to Te Anau, the gateway to Milford Sound. We spent a grey but amazing day in the Fjords, saw seals and got a bit snap-happy with the camera! In a brave attempt to get the ultimate waterfall shot, I got soaked to the bone as our Milford Cruise boat stuck its bow straight under the falls...with just one British idiot (me) on deck! Nikky had wisely moved inside for a complimentary cup of tea!
Thoroughly soaked, but a great day in amongst some of the most spectacular scenery we've ever seen!
We are back in Wanaka for New Years tomorrow. Our home from home! Happy New Year everyone! Thanks for all the comments so far! We will enter 2010 a day earlier than you so we might just have to celebrate twice!
Love Jan and Nikky. x

A man can be himself only so long he is alone ;...if he does not love solitude , he will not love freedom ;for it is only when he is alone that he is realy free.
Let us be the the first .... A Happy and Positive 2010 !!
