Thanks to our wonderful Kiwi-born tour guide, we enjoyed many lesser known, but still breathtaking, sights. We got to swim in beautiful blue pools, enjoy a secluded ocean beach under the mountains, and hike around some stunning lakes. I can't wait to show you the pictures - which I would have been able to do if Neil had not absent-mindedly left our memory card reader in his backpack and then tossed it on a pile of rocks. We are in Queenstown, "The Adventure Capital of the World" for the next 4 nights and should be able to get another reader tomorrow. In the morning, we are going on a full day Lord of the Rings tour.

Hopefully our next entry is accompanied by some pictures! Hope all of you are doing well, thanks for checking up.
