I’m in Queenstown at the moment and it’s so beautiful I don’t have any words to describe it really.. hopefully some of the pictures I’m posting up once I get back to Wanganui will tell you what it’s like out here.

We left Wangas on Monday, drove down to Wellington and stayed the night there and took the 9:30am ferry to Picton and drove past Kaikoura to Christchurch. The next morning we drove to Dunedin (really nice place!) and spent the day there. And tonight we’re at Queenstown.

Weather’s been pretty good. Its not too bad during the day when the sun’s out but in the evenings it does get pretty chilly. The high in Queenstown tomorrow is 2 degrees. Kinda makes you wanna hide in your room with your electric blanket but its so beautiful out here.. seriously.

One day I’m coming back here again.

We’re driving back up north tomorrow, Milton is as far south as we’re going this trip.. apparently we’re expecting polar ice winds from the antarctic tomorrow which will bring snow to Dunedin etc, where we should be tomorrow night if we don’t decide to stay for another night here in Queenstown.

The mountains are looking pretty good at the moment, most of them are still not covered in snow yet but a few ski fields are open where the snow is and Mt. Cook looks just amazing.. in fact the entire southern alps looks amazing at the moment.

God, the mountains.. wish you were here!
