Queenstown on Lake Wakatipu, our first stop
Our first helicopter trip up over lake Wakatipu flying over a braided river
Sixty mile long Lake Wakatipu from our snowy perch
There is a very scenic drive along the lake
All scenic drives include sheep
The drives also included majestic mountains
Some mountains liked to hide
Scenic drives also included lakes
And reflections
You could take a rain forest walk
There were always huge ferns.
Milford Sound
A boat ride on Milford Sound with its many waterfalls
Dramatic falls on a misty day
Quiet evening on Milford Sound
Look carefully to find the t iny red helicopter in front of the falls as it flew all the way up the falls. It was our turn next.
