It's been so nice to stay in the same hotel for three nights .....yesterday's 5 hour drive was worth every minute for the spectacular views at Millford Sound .... We also had ten or more Dolphins travel along our ferry for a while.the afternoon finished with a flight on a 12 seater plane seeing the scenery from above.Today we had a leasurely start and had a day to ourselves .... We took a paddle boat steamer across the water to a homestead to see some sheep shear...

Left the beautiful Mount Cook and had a leasurely drive over the Lindis Pass , stopping for wine tasting on the way .Arrived inQueenstown in time for a ride on the Skyline Gondola for lovely views before a leasurely evening ..... Weather improved again too!
