A couple of weeks ago I went to Milford Sound. It was absolutely spectacular. I went with my next door neighbour, Leica. We spent a night in Queenstown, where we went to the Kiwi Haka and learned to twirl pois (badly), then had an evening of wine-tasting at the try-as-many-wines-as-you-like bar - interesting as you charge a credit card with $10, then put the card in the slot and choose your wine. Then we have hotel movies and watched "The Bucket List" about two men dying of cancer who decide to live a little in the time they have left. It was a really nice movie. The next day we had an early breakfast and hopped on the bus to go to Milford Sound. Hours later we arrived, after seeing some absolutely spectacular scenery and went on our boat trip. The scenery was lovely, but there were absolutely NO animals - no dolphins, no seals and no penguins...
Made it back to Queenstown and had another movie - this time "Lars and the Real Girl" about a guy who buys a doll and pretends it's his girlfriend and everyone in the town goes along with it, until she really is a part of their community. Another film worth a look.
On the Monday we went back to Dunedin via the Taieri Gorge Railway. (see below) Another spectacular day of sunshine. And then, back to work.
