Whoa .... WOW .... what the?? is that Frodo I see climbing around up there? Drive from Franz Joseph to Queenston is unbelievably beautiful. Majestic glaciers followed by sea side vistas followed by narrow mountain passes followed by lush valleys dotted with vineyards followed by a spectacular gourge here and a scraggy hill there ... vaulting up from nowhere (surely must be Peter Jackson's preferred shoot for Lord of the Rings) So much to see ... we are beginning to regret that our south island tour has a 14 day limit. We are now in Queenston which is a major tourist mecca .... camping within walking distance of tours to WW rafting, para sailing, canyon jet boating, bungy bridge dive, alpine choppers, wine tour Lord of the Rings tour etc etc ... and all free of charge .... NOT!
It's great to be in NZ in February ... cool nights (alpine country) and highs in the mid 20's. Fruit stands are everywhere with cherries, plums and nectarines coming in fresh off the trees. Yum!
