Hi everybody and especially you Garry. Very Happy On Monday the 20th we leave Sweden for a couple of days in Perth before we enter NZ. We are really excited about this trip my brother and I. Most of the time we are going to spend on the South Island, thanks to you Garry. We have rented a car in Christchurch and will drive down to Dunedin first and after that out to Milford Sound. Then we take the road via Queenstown, Mount Cook and back to Chrch. We hope we will have decent weather so we can take a lot of pictures to bring back home. Rolling Eyes Then we leave NZ for some ten days in the Sydney area and maybe also Melbourne. We think we will skip the whole thing with Cairns, Barrier Reef and Fraser Island, everybody does that so why should we. Anybody out there having another opinion Question
Well NZ beware, here we come Wink Wink Wink

Sounds good albatross, while you are in Dunedin you could take a detour down to the Catlins (f the weather forcast is good), one of my favorite areas on the east coast of the South Island.

We've been there now, I and my brother, and after a few months that we've been home,I have started to contemplate my visit and have discovered that I have to come back. There are so many more places that I want to see that my heart aches every moment I think about it. I simply have to come back.
I want to thank you Garry for all the wonderful tips that you have given us about your country. I also want to show you the picture that we took at Milford Sound, I had wanted so much to be able to take a picture by myself and here it is.
The best so far about NZ is the Albatross Centre on the Otago Peninsula. I love those birds and I got the opportunity to see them fly out there, five of them. Unfortunitely I didn't have the fancy camera that could take pictures without a flash so I don't have any pictures from the moment but it doesn't matter, they are in my heart and that's good enough.
Well, see you again NZ some day. It better be soon since I'm turning 63 this coming summer (in Sweden).
