Hi Michele, It's great reading about your time at Huka Lodge. All of it sounds so wonderful.

We are in Queenstown and have spent the day "watching" all the adventure - bungy jumping, luge riding and hang-gliding through the valley. We've had a great land tour but we're ready for our cruise to begin. It will be nice to unpack the suitcases for awhile. Plus, we're looking forward to seeing everyone.

I've posted another entry on the blog about our time at Franz Joseph Glacier: http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/South-Island/Franz-Josef/blog-223953.html

I'm slowly but surely catching up.

Oh yes, tonight I had lamb steak at a small French restaurant called Solera vino. Delicious!

See you guys tomorrow.
