Queenstown to Te Anau

The day started early. After breakfast at the hotel the bus drove us about 6 miles out of town where we started biking. We went down the west side of Lake Wakatipu in to the deer, cattle and sheep ranches. At 51 mile we had lunch in Five Rivers, where there aren't any rivers. The bikes were loaded onto the trailer and we rode the bus 47 miles into Te Anau which is on Lake Te Anau. After showers and laundry we walked into town to see a movie production called Fiordlands. The movie was photographed from a helocopter with the most spectacular views of the fiords, waterfalls, rainforests and glaciars. This area gets 9 meters of rainfall a year.

Poor internet connection tonight I'm unable to upload pictures.

Tomorrow night we are on a boat in Milford sound so I will probably not be posting to the blog.
