The Millenium FalconThe Millenium FalconThe Millenium Falcon

This is the car we rented.
We landed in New Zealand yesterday morning. If you are traveling by air in the future I suggest Emirates, that is a great airline, they fly the newest Airbus jets and the seats are very comfortable plus the entertainment for the seatback screen contains 160 channels of movies.

We rented a car and drove from Christchurch to Wamarama and stayed at a cute little motel where the rooms were small but comfortable and the toilets and shower were just down the hall. lol

It is not very hard driving on the left side of the road but I must admit that Jordan is much better in town than I am. We are staying at a Novatel in Queenstown tonight and the view is spectacular. We are going to ride the SHOTOVER tomorrow. (www.shotoverjet.com)

This is where the Lord of the Rings was filmed, (www.lordoftheringstours.co.nz)

I have attached a few pictures and will post more tonight.

not real
I'm convinced you guys aren't actually there and you've just photoshopped yourselves into a bunch of postcards, because there is no way that Lake Takepo is real. It looks like someone drew it, someone very, very talented.
