Wednesday, 15 Feb. Simple, beautiful drive over countryside that was similar to Pennsylvania in color and Montana in hills. Drove through Queenstown, but couldn’t find a place to park. I did pay for one hour of parking, so I got a sense of things. The place is a major jumping off point for multiple activities. Bungie jumping, mountain bikes, parasailing, warm weather luges, hiking (Tramping), etc. It’s also a launching point for day trips to Milford Sound, entailing 8 hours on a bus, to give a sense of how fabulous the Sound is.
Glenorchy is a small tourist town (350 people). Besides the wonderful setting, there’re boat rides, horse rides, and walking tracks. I got some great pictures of cattle and sheep with much greater views than they deserve. BTW, the sheep you eat are of a species that produce poor wool. They still have to be sheared twice a year, but the product is placed in carpets and such.
No more than four feet away. I kept waiting for mommy to snip at my toes.
I’d like to say the door opened up to a toilet. But no.
New Zealanders repeatedly exhibit a sense of humor I adore.
You lookin’ at me?
Again: You lookin’ at me? Same moment in time, different angles.
The white on the right are clouds. I like the perspective.
