dream retiement holiday

---

Hi all, arrived here in Queenstown yesterday, lovely hotel overlooking the beautiful harbour. when we left Te Anau early yesterday we travelled down to Milford sound, it was raining which we were told you make the boat trip even better, we wound our way down through the southern alps along some outstanding scenery, sheer drops on one side and mountains on the other with beautiful waterfalls along the way. Our Maori bus driver gave us a running commentry as we went, describing all the native trees and plants, he is very knowledgable and has told us how in maori legends places such as Devil's leap, Knobs Flat, Kelvin's Heights and so many more gained there names, it's quite fascinating. When we got to the bottom we went on to Milford sound which was wonderful, it was true that the rain made it better as the waterfalls were in full flow, we saw seals basking (it was still very warm). unfortunately the rain did prevent us taking a light aircraft flight which we had booked over to Queenstown. will have to sign off as our time slot is running out catch up soon love The Bids XXXXXXXXXX
