Friday Fotos – plenty of places to grab a bite in Russell

By

We fell in love with Russell, New Zealand. It’s a lovely little town with plenty of quaint shops, many of which cater to tourists. The eateries along the water are wonderful, and the atmosphere (when the weather is good) is delightful. As a side note, this was my first—and last—day in a ‘healthy’ condition after […]

Friday Fotos – Along the shore at New Zealand’s Lake Wanaka

By

To the best of my recollection, this was a bit of a blustery day. It was also the day that everything changed. First, let’s start with the photo. The wind didn’t seem to bother these two carefree little girls as they played along the shores of Lake Wanaka. This, however, was the day that everything […]

Friday Fotos – Lindis Pass – a change in plans

By

Lindis Pass was a change in plans This was a windy stop on our road trip, but Lindis Pass was the only way to get from Queenstown to our next stop, which was a change in plans after the road washed out due to torrential rains. As a matter of fact, not only did the […]

Friday Fotos – a perfect reflection at Mirror Lakes

By

This perfect reflection at Mirror Lakes was captivating. As I said last week, we’d heard about the beauty, but not much could prepare us for seeing these mountains in the water. Add to that the crystal clear visibility—both in the water and the air—and this was a recipe for an amazing experience. Here’s the map […]

Friday Fotos – Skyline Queenstown, top of the mountain

By

What a ride! As you’re climbing up the mountain to Skyline Queenstown, there are times when it looks like you’re heading straight into the side of the mountain. Those of us with our backs to the mountain were treated to a gorgeous view of the lake and valley, but the ones facing the mountain had […]

Friday Fotos – New Zealand fur seals hang out at Milford Sound

By

Hanging out at Milford Sound with the seals On the second half of our Milford Sound tour, the boat slowed for this family of New Zealand fur seals. These guys are HUGE. They seem to love the sun and warmth radiated by the rocks. Given that they spend hours each day looking for food, it’s […]

Friday Fotos – Milford Sound meets the Tasman Sea

By

Milford Sound meets the Tasman Sea The journey to this point had been slow and smooth. But once the Tasman Sea came into view, it’s influence and power became obvious. At first, our ferry boat just rolled a little. As we made our way out onto the open ocean, we found ourselves moving up, down, […]

Friday Fotos – Milford Sound – another view

By

Small sailboat sailing Milford Sound There’s not a lot of boat traffic on Milford Sound—or maybe that’s just an illusion because it’s so darned big. This fjord draws visitors from all over the world and is cruised by about anything from a small boat on up to a cruise ship. We made two tours of […]

Friday Fotos – small boat cruises Milford Sound

By

Cruising Milford Sound Milford Sound is one of those awe-inspiring places that draws visitors from around the world. It was certainly one of our top things to do in New Zealand. The really great thing about our trip is that we were able to see Milford Sound twice. The first time was midday on our […]

Friday Fotos — More from Fjordland National Park

By

Part of Fjordland National Park in New Zealand Along the way to Milford Sound, one of the sights to see is The Chasm. While The Chasm is a beautiful nature walk on a path traveling through the trees and over a river, it was not an easy place to get photos. Not far away, however, […]
