New Zealand (Part 2)

Queenstown - We took the Gondola to the top for our Skyline Luge rides and a short hike before returning back to town for the infamous Fergburger!





More of nature's beauty and a hike on the Routeburn Track.






Time for a new adventure - a Heli-hike!  This was my first time in a helicopter which took us part of the way up Mount Luxmore to the Kepler Track.  From there a hike to the top of Mount Luxmore and then back down the mountain and into town.


We're landing on that little pad?!

It wasn't such a little landing pad after all!

Summit of Mount Luxmore


Milford Sound - a few days earlier the road was closed due to snow so we lucked out that we were able to make the scenic and winding drive to the Sound for our cruise.
Kea

Penguins




Sea, waterfall and mountains all in one shot!
Part 3 (and final post) on its way.  Stay tuned!


Til next time...Happy Trails!
