November 12

Our mission today was to drive to Queenstown between 10-12 hours south. We got going at 6:45am and it was still raining. At some point we did actually get our sun glasses out.

Highlights:

– all the various scenery

– Huge lakes

– trickle stream #1 & #2

– names for culverts and everything else

– Renee drove for the first time in NZ

– pancake rocks and blow holes

our Airbnb stay with Elaine and Rich at Cromwell was fantastic! They made us tea upon our arrival and gave us good ideas for supper. When we got back from the pizza place, they invited us to watch “Telly” with them. They used to be guides on the tracks around here so they had lots of info for us. They were very hospitable and they made us feel at home. We each got our own room which was awesome. We watched a millionaire dating show which Rich enjoyed a lot.
