traveling tales from the exotic dinda

Sheesh, what a week! I'm still on the South Island in Queenstown for another night but leave for Christchurch in the morning. Next day onto to Picton and finally a few more days in Lower Huttt near Wellington. If I weren't so tired I'd upload some of the hundreds of photos but I'm really, really tired and tomorrow is another early start.

Just for my own purposes, to help sort the past week:
kayaking in Abel Tasman
shopping in Hokitika
kewl rocks in Punakaiki
even kewler Fox glacier
onto Queenstown
Milford Sound
Te Anau
hot bus Australian driver, Skip
really great Thai food
dolphins
rugby Sevens

I go sleep now. . .

Lol - i finally got around to watching the Travel channel unreality show called "Stranded with Cash Peters." Bout this guy who gets dropped in various places around the world with no money, credit cards, etc. and he supposed to live off the generosity of 'strangers' or the local yocals. However, I submit to you that having your own camera crew makes folks treat you a bit differently, so I didn't quiet believe the premise.

Well anyways, tonight's first episode was in where else, New Zealand! Queenstown to be exact. Been there, done that, had way over priced bad mexican food. If you ever are in NZ, don't order mexican food - it's a long way from mexico to there. But Queenstown is way kewl and the kiwis will put you up for free if'n you're a good drunk or have interesting stories to tell.

The next spot was a strange little place I recognized immediately as none other than Solvang! You west coast folks should know of it. Sometimes I come across these misplaced photos with danish stuff in em and I realize that was "the day" in Solvang.

Sometimes my past is not far enough away. . .
