Hello everyone!!
The Magic Bus took us to Queenstown yesterday...We didn't have that much fun in Franz Josef since it was raining and the clouds were covering the mountains and glaciers...But it's ok, we still got to experience the only bar in town : the Blue Ice bar, where we met 4 crazy quebecers with whom with drank a bot more beer than expected at the beginning of the evening :p

The ride from Franz to Queenstown was going up and down and right and left....felt a bit sick towards the end and had a headache...Took us all day to finally get down here...Where it is much colder. I'm actually thinking of buying a tuque for tomorrow day at Milford Sound...People wear winter jackets (ok, it's not THAT cold, but i guess for them here, it is....)

We can do tons of stuff here ( we're staying at the Southern Laughter) we have 3 days (4 nights- 1 gone already) Bungy jumping, paragliding, kayaking, hiking, rafting, skydiving, name it, you got it here!!! It's the paradise for outdoor activities (David G, I know you'd love it here!!!)
So we're planing a few things but we have a tour tomorrow at Milford sound which will take us through Te Anau and then to a cruise on Milford sound (apparently, it has the nicest scenery ever!!)

The town here is quite nice, bigger than what we've seen so far but very expensive..Even if our dollar is at our advantage in NZ, everything is more touristic oriented and costs a lot of money!! Phil says it looks a bit like Banff here, the Mountains, the little shops around the main street...

SO we'll see waht kind of crazy (but safe!) activities will do in the next few days!! 😊


Take care all! We miss you!!
