PICTURE: Glenn in Christchurch
Well we arrived safe and sound in New Zealand. It was a little bit of a shock to our system with the temperature only about 15 degrees we had to break out our sweaters which hasn't been done in a long time! We spent a couple of days in Christchurch at a hostel called base backpackers. The room was nice and big and they supplied towels which is always a bonus. In Christchurch we went to the canterbury museum, botanical gardens and wandered through the beautiful cathedral in cathedral square. We bought a bus pass to travel both the south and north islands and planned some of our tour. Saturday we hopped on a bus and travelled to Queenstown. On our way we stopped at lake Tekapo, Mt Cook, Omaramar and then to Queenstown. Mt cook is the tallest mountain in the southern alps of New Zealand. We arrived in Queenstown and our staying at a hostel called bungi backpackers. Its small and friendly and the people that run it are super nice. Queenstown is really beautiful it reminds us alot of banff except it has a lake right in the middle. We are leaving tomorrow to a place called Te anua and then to Millford sound. In Millford we are doing a lake cruise which should be really nice. We then come back to Queenstown before we head up the coast to Franz Josef glacier where we will be doing a hike on the glacier. All in all things are good, there is so much to do and see here that everyone of our days will be filled with something new. We will keep you updated as our New Zealand travels continue, hope all is well.
Love Jen and Glenn
