We drove south from Wanaka this morning via the highest public road in New Zealand - the Crown Range road. At the highest point you get a fabulous view down over Queenstown. We didn't actually go into Queenstown (as we're not adventure-seeking types), but we did go to Arrowtown which is a restored gold mining town.
Then we drove to Te Anau to another excellent B&B (with free port in the room). We looked around the town (like Wanaka, it's on a lake), had a tasty Italian meal, then watched 'Ata Whenua - Shadowland' which is a film about the glories of Fiordland.
Tomorrow is our trip on Milford Sound. We are picked up from the B&B at 7.30 in the morning(!) for the coach trip then the boat ride. At the moment the weather looks as if it might be a bit wet but that just means that the waterfalls will be more spectacular (according to the marketing blurb!).
