 Visiting South Island NZ
Maybe you can help me with my planned trip to Tasmania!
I started in Christchurch and yes the Antarctic Centre is interesting.
Christchurch has some good lamb restaurants.
Very peaceful place.
I would arrange a farmstay if I were you. I stayed on one New Years 99/00
I went to the extreme south Invercargill and through the Catlins then to
Dunedin.
At Dunedin you can see the penguins. I did not stay in Mt Cook area but took
a flightseeing plane.
Very nice drive by Lake Tekapu. I stayed in Queenston and then drove to Te
Anau. If doing the Milford Sound do it from Te Anau. I actually preferred Te
Anau rather than Queenston.
Being from Western Canada- I felt at home in NZ.
If you have some time you can do the day trip train to Greysmouth.
Cheers
Ian
