mr & mrs webster's excellent adventure part two

OK Got some time today so can continue on the some more on the story.
Anyway, after the bad weather in Franz Jo, we checked out early the next day and started out trip to Queenstown. On the way we stopped by Fox Glacier. A bit different than franz Jo, but equally if not more impressive.

Fox glacier terminal face...

After fox, we continued to queenstown. Nice lake. Stayed there for a night but it rained the next day. Bummer. Almost got our shotover jet trip cancelled.

Queenstown from a very high place...

a bungee jumper...

these jokers will jump from anywhere they can build a ledge...

Stayed another night at queenstown and then left early the next day to te anau on the way to milford sound. The trip is very very nice. The big rock outcrops makes you feel like a hobbit sans the curly hair.

have to wait out side homer tunnel, so snap!

waiting outside homer tunnel...

After milford sound, drove back to te anau and spent a quiet night there. It was only there that the excellent speight old dark was discovered. The one drink that should not be missed.

milford sound...

there are waterfalls every where you look. the toilet was a welcome relief after i got off the boat...
From Te Anau, we drove to wanaka and overnighted there. Checked out the next day and visited museum of sorts that has lots of optical illusions.

From Wanaka it off straight to Mt Cook. Did some hiking and then spent a night there. very very nice. especially night time. can go out and see the stars.

mt. cook...

apparently a guide and 3 hikers died on their way up hiking mt cook a few days before we got there...

the valley overlooking mt. cook...Next day did some more hiking and then drive to the last destination, Christchurch.

tasman galcier valley...

Checked in into Christchurch YHA and spent the next day ronda ronda + buying souvenirs to appease the relatives.

Christchurch is named after this church...

check out the suspended house, btw, it's really there and not photochopped...

Next morning is check out and fly back home… end of journey.

Comes to think of it, it’s been fun recalling the trip, so probably I’ll do a day to day blow next time.
