We spent most of the day traveling. Our flight was a bit delayed due to an "industrial action" or strike as we would call it. After a three hour flight our plane maneuvered its landing through a beautiful mountain range just outside Queenstown. Next was a two and a half hour ride to our final destination for the day: Te Anau. We drove alongside the length of beautiful Lake Waktipu and then saw nothing but miles and miles of beautiful farmland and rolling green hills with grazing deer, sheep, and cows (no goats Joe).
Te Anau is a very quiet and small town in the south west part of South Island. Tomorrow is a busy day with a trip to Milford Sound for a cruise and then a nighttime trip to the worm caves across Lake Te Anau. Pictured below is the view of Lake Te Anua from our front deck and Mark outside the place where we had dinner tonight. Too bad he didn't bring his moose hat Sheila.
PS: It's cold but sunny and we are now 20 hours ahead of San Francisco!
I think this is the picture mom must have been looking at when she said "the moose." Yeah, that's it....

Nice save Sheila, but too late, we remember that conversation vividly.
