We went in search of at least one of New Zealand's native penguin species. No luck. They were apparently out to sea eating while we were there. Oh well. Saw some great coastlines and drove along the very southern edge of the country, which is about as far south as you can get w/out hitting Antarctica.
But on the way back north, we hit the nature jackpot. On our way to Queenstown, where we're staying tonight, we saw some of the most amazing snow-capped mountains seemingly rising strait out of a long, finger-like lake. Unreal. We tried to load at least one of the probably 100 photos we took, but couldn't' get this computer to work. We'll try at the next stop, but that feature may have to wait until our return. Suffice it to say, we felt like were in a movie set or something. It looked fake. Can't wait to see what we'll do tomorrow. This whole no-planning thing is exciting, but stressful. Hopefully we'll figure out our plans at least a day ahead of time.
Oh, and a chilly box is just a cooler. I just love the name.
