I have just had some of the best Fish & Chips I have ever tasted sitting in the open-air overlooking Queenstown Bay and watching the sunset on the mountains and a Para Glider.
Since we left Christchurch last Monday morning, we have travelled 330km across the Southern Alps on the Transalpine Express and then travelled another 80km to Frans Josef to view the glacier and to stay overnight.
Today we have covered 350km to Queenstown – the adventure capital of South Island – I've declined the offer to Bungy jump for free as an over 75!! So, we are more or less in the centre of the South Island as it begins to narrow at its southern end. Over the next couple of days, we will travel to the very southern tip to Stewart Island, via Milford Sound on Thursday. I'm off tomorrow on a Jet Boat on the Dart River.
The scenery is just spectacular and just keeps giving and giving with almost every bend in the road and there are many hairpin bends!! It has been enhanced today by sunshine and blue skies. More photos of the scenery when I post about the journeys of the last two days.
