New Zealand just keeps getting better and better and better. This week we did three really cool things:

- Drove out to Paradise (northwest of Glenorchy) where they shot large parts of the Lord of the Rings movies.
- Stayed with Duncan's (Toni's housemate in Cape Town) brother Etienne in Queenstown.
- Went on an overnight cruise to the Doubtful Sound, part of the Fiordland National Park.
We don't have time to write much so all we can say that all places were amazing and true New Zealand highlights. Eight more days to go and then we are off to the sun in Samoa.
