Best day EVER! (Yesterday)

Woke up at 6AM to prepare for trip to Milford Sound. We weren't sure if the weather was going to permit our flights to depart. Found out early that we were a go!

We took a cab to the Queenstown airport. The driver was a really nice guy. I sat in the front sear on the left side of the car. It was a strange feeling at first to be on the passenger side, which is the driver's side in the states!

The driver had just been married 3 weeks earlier. He plaid the bag pipes as a hobby as a second job. He's been playing for over 19 years in many different countries. I was struck at how interesting the people you meet on vacation are!

The flight to Milford Sound was spectacular. Our pilot was a very cute woman named Megan. She took us up over the hills and over the fiords on the way to the sound. The scenery was awesome.

Took boat tour around the sound.

Flew to Glenorchy for jetboat ride. Not so impressed.

Then bus ride back to Queenstown.

Dinner at Fishbone... just ok.

Dancing at 12 bar... pretty dead mostly us ASA people.
