Queenstown, New Zealand

Tracy and I took a week holiday to go exploring our neighbour country, New Zealand. We had initially intended this as a ski holiday to Queenstown, but it was a bit warm for our taste and we supplemented our 2 days of skiing with a lot of activities and exploration of the area. We're always a bit skeptical when people go on about how pretty a place is, but we both thought Queenstown and the areas around it were absolutely spectacular -- so many times we thought we were looking at a postcard. We took a LOT of pictures, and edited them down to a measly 300. I know its a lot, and they are probably a lot a like, but we just couldn't get rid of too many more. The captions in the pictures tell you more about all the things we did. Our favourite part was a flight (in a tiny little plane) from Queenstown to Milford Sound where we took a boat ride -- its one of the fijords in the national park that you can go visit -- so be sure to check those out. It was a very memorable holiday and a great break from Sydney life.
