Queenstown

Ah, pretty Queenstown. A doll-like little place, neat, sweet and home to one of the world's largest burgers....

The physics of this will be challenging

Ride of the Rings with Dart Stables

That's Murphy. He's a bit of a grump. 

High on my list of things-I'm-glad-I-did on this trip was a tour of LOTR film locations around Glenorchy with Dart Stables. For NZ$170 I got a full afternoon of absolute gorgeous scenery, and horsies.

Lake Wakatipu: Even the ride from Queenstown to Paradise (yes it's really called, "Paradise") is breathtaking. 

Ahh the famous NZ Sheep Road Crossing. Only entertaining to tourists. 

First sight of Dart Stables's paddock in Paradise. 

Home again from New Zealand!

Hi everyone! Just got back from one of the most gorgeous countries on earth. Just LOOK at South Island! And this is just the first day out and about. We were driving from Dunedin to Queenstown and we could not drive past this gorgeous place without stopping.
