On Friday we took a cruise on Milford Sound which is one of the finest New Zealand fjords. It is enclosed by sheer rock walls climbing 3,900 feet from the sea. Magnificent scenery!!! A few stops along the way and an ice cream treat at the end of the day! The weather has been great…cool evenings and mornings, but sunny days!!
Today, Saturday, is on our own. We are in Queenstown and being that it is a tourist town, there are a lot of things to do. This morning we went on a Shotover Jetboat which is one of the most thrilling boat rides…it skims over thrashing rapids in mere inches of water through a canyon……we froze our face and I got drenched, but it was awesome!! Late afternoon we went on a Streamboat Cruise…can’t get enough of the beautiful water! Tonight will go on the gondola for a 360 degree view of the city! As you can see we are busy all the time!
On to Christchurch in the morning…another day trip before we get there with little stops along the way.
More from Christchurch!
