That said, our last 10 days in NZ were still great. We headed down from Picton to Nelson, then worked our way down the west coast stopping at the pancake rocks and the Franz Joseph Glacier. The glacier in NZ looked like glorified ice cube compared to Perito Moreno in Argentina (dirty too). The further south we got, the more extreme the scenery became. We found ourselves comparing the surroundings to another spot in Patagoina, Torres del Paine. There were steep granite mountains rising up out of sky-blue opaque lakes.
We pushed on south to Queenstown and were happy we did. Amie thought it was the most incredibly beautiful place she had ever been. I wouldn’t go that far, but definitely top 5. We’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
As time was running out we headed up the east coast to Christchurch—another nice city with a very British feel to it. Three weeks was a good amount of time to get a feel for NZ, we could have used another week easy however… Next stop Tasmania!
