I can't wait until I get home so I can share my pictures with everyone. I had a second amazing day on Milford Sound complete with lots of wildlife, but I'll wait to share until I have pictures. I get back on Saturday, but I don't know how quick I'll get pics up b/c I have to work sometime (can work Sunday if I want -- we'll see how I feel. Definitely back to work on Monday). I will do some back posts as well to cover things I didn't have time to blog about, because my trip has just been scenic, for the most part -- more pictures than words are necessary.
Queenstown seems nice, even at night. Wellington, which everyone seems to love, felt really inhospitable to me. Well, not inhospitable -- just impersonal (even more so than Auckland). But Queenstown feels homey and snug. I think I'll have a good last 2.5 days here.
