The west coast of New Zealand is pretty stunning. We had a great room which overlooked the Shotover river. While in Queenstown we had a great time doing the Shotover jet boat which goes at amazing speeds close to the rocks – totally eexhilarating! We also took the gondola up to top of the mountain and too a couple of turns on the luge up there. Sorry to disappoint people, but we gave the bungee jump a miss!
Will post more photos when internet is not flakey.

Meanwhile on Doubtful Sound there are these folk….
Yessss!
Thanks to one of my team back at work for recommending the trip – you were so right!
This year Kym could not have another birthday in Australia, given I have been o/s a number of times.
We’ve had a great day cycling around looking at graffiti and going to the best coffee shops in Christchurch – great fun!
I suspect some of my team at work would like a wine version of this…
…as would a number of people in public libraries!
Yesterday was a long day, as it involved a 4+ hour drive from Dunedin to Christchurch. Can’t say I am fond of the road (oh the bumpy bridges!) or the cars who sit too close to you when you are travelling at 100km per hour.
On the bright side on the way we stopped at the Morreaki Boulders.
I thought they were great… But I suspect Kym thought there would be more given the signage. They are pretty impressive and certainly worth the stop.
Yes.. We saw a few of these at our last stop on the South Island at Kiakoura.
When we got there it was around 10 degrees…. and lots of cloud cover across the mountains. The seals were the best bit!
Seal pup!
I wish all libraries had food and wine this good. I know Helen’s has a cafe. But it needs cocktails!
Finally got around to editing the New Zealand video. Hope you enjoy it.
