Hi from New Zealand!
And what a beautiful country it is! We have been here less than a weeka nd already used a memory card of photos up!
Started off in Christchurch, spent a few days there taking the sights of the Cathedral and the surrounding volcanic landscape, and then we hired a car (which we shall have the whole time we are in NZ) and made our way to the Banks Peninsula.
More stunninng scenary was seen there! We next headed to Mount Cook, the highest mountain in Australasia. The drive there was breathtaking! We drive for an hour past huge tourquoise lakes backed by snowcapped mountains. One of the lakes was Laek Tekapo which is what is pictured above. Just as Mount Cook came into view we put the Planet Earth theme tune on... it will be an unforgettable memory!
We are currently in a place called Oamaru and onto Dunedin today to try and spot the rare yellow eyed penguin and sea lions! This area is renowed for them. And also the film set for Chronciles of Narnia and where Janet Frame based her stories on.
