Kia ora,have found an internet cafe in Queenstown,amongst loads of internet nerds. Perhaps I am becoming a nerd myself. A remarkable couple of days,driving down the west coast of NZ. We walked up as far as was poss. to the face of Franz Josef glacier.and actually flew over Fox glacier in a very small helicopter.Stopped In Haas overnight,and motored on to Wanaka. A place we all think we could live in,mild climate,lakes,mountains,stacks of space,not too big. We have been negotiating with a land agent this morning,swopping The Sytch for a lakeside property. Activities in Queenstown this am have been curtailed a bit because of weather,no flying ,but we have been up the Skyline with views all over the town & lake and came down the luge for a bit of thrill therapy. We have just been told Jetboats are going this pm. as the river was too high this morning. So more adrenaline rush , getting addicted.Hoping to get to Milford Sound tomorrow before turning North and homewards,looking forwards to Fiji and some sun.Love to all ,Stan & Hil.
