Back in Queenstown briefly before heading over to Christchurch for my flight tomorrow. Rachel and I have done some more stunning treks and the area around here and the fjords really warrants weeks of trekking! We really enjoyed doing part of the Routeburn trek and the night on Milford Sound was awesome (in the original sense of the word!). Stayed at a private hostel yesterday where the owner took us out on his yacht so we could go swimming in the lake. So, we've now swum at the most Northerly and Southerly points we've visited in New Zealand (Russell in the Bay of Islands and Manapouri in Fiordland). I've posted some pictures on my last entry too, if you fancy taking a look at those. Next stop - Sydney!

WOW
This looks fantastic. My son Jack is off to NZ later in the year so I'm going to show him the pix to get him going!
