Burr

I'm now in Queenstown New Zealand. When I landed yesterday in the small airport in a valley it was quite interesting; we came in and circled, I didn't see anything that resembled an airport, then we circled again, and turned into a valley and there was the landing strip, it started at the edge of a cliff. But it was a nice gentle landing.

It was raining when I arrived and only about 45 degrees. Last night I dug out my layers and my raincoat and went to wander the town. I booked a tour of the Milford Sound for tomorrow so I'll be there all day. It's a coach ride out and then about 4 hours on the sound in a small boat, then the ride back, which I think it's about a 4 hour drive. So it'll be a long day of scenic sights and hopefully some animals. The brochure claims that their are penguins out there.

After some dinner I walked out to head back to my fabulous hosts' place, and there was fresh snow on the mountains, and it had started to clear so it was really pretty.

Today it's still chilly but no rain, let's hope that's the way it is tomorrow too for my boat ride.
