New Zealand continued



We have a good internet connection tonight so I thought I would write a brief entry and post some pictures!
Today we traveled into the mountains to the only land locked district in New Zealand, which is it's wine growing area. Needless to say, a winery stop was necessary and Jon and I found a bottle that we couldn't do without. Currently we have a bottle of red open and a bottle of pinot gris in the waiting! We are near Fox glacier tonight; the south island is known as the "southern Alps". We hope to walk on the glacier tomorrow. We continue into the mountains tomorrow and then on to a sheep station (ranch) and a mining area.
I'm going to try to post some photos from the last few days; meanwhile Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at home!!!
