Queenstown 2

Unknown Range visible only from the Remarkables
After visiting Arrowtown, we drove up the Remarkables all the way to the resort, which closed about a week ago.  The views were breathtaking and the pictures really don't capture much of it.  It was a bit unnerving driving up as there are very few rails, big washboards, and steep drop-offs.  It was well worth the nervousness though as it allowed us to see an entire range that you can't see from the town.  We camped for the first time and our tent was great.  It rained the second night and we were warm and dry.  We can't wait to go back.

Two peaks over 6,ooo feet, rise above Lake Wakatipu
On our way back to Dunedin we stopped at Moeraki beach.  These boulders are huge and almost perfectly spherical.  It really looks man made but it's not.  It is so nice to have a home to come back to, and to not have pack and unpack everything we own for a weekend trip.  
Cheers,
Johnny
