Where do I begin? I can't begin to describe the beauty and majesty of New Zealand. Bill had tried to give me an idea beforehand, how incredible this country is, and it was a good try but..... I think I have spent most of the past 4 days since we arrived with my mouth slightly or fully open in awe of my surroundings. The mountains are tremendous, in stature and beauty and they seem to be endless. Some have snow on the top and others are seemingly barren with scruffy trees or alpine pine trees, grasses and low bushes. Sheep are everywhere and cattle is mixed in.
We drove past Lake Tekapo a few days ago and oh my gosh!! The water was such a brilliant turqoise and the mountains framing it were topped with snow and seemed to go into the clouds.
Amazing truly amazing.
and it never ends--we have driven for hours across the southern island and it just keeps getting better and better. Wow!! Amazingly enough this place dwarfs Colorado (my other favorite mountain area) and I never thought that was possible!
