    On to Queenstown

    October 19, 2023 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F

    We had another beautiful drive today (about 3 1/2 hours) - headed south to Queenstown. Pastureland, mountains, beautiful lakes - New Zealand is a VERY beautiful country.

    There are SOOO many sheep here. We were told Merino sheep are one of the few animals that can easily survive the extremes high and low temps here, so they have A LOT of them. (And this is where we get Merino wool socks from). Being Spring here there are so many lambs on the pastures - so cute.

    We saw the Clay cliffs on the way - reminded me some of Utah. Pretty rock formations.

    Queenstown is quite pretty as well. One of the bigger cities here, situated in the middle of a mountain range, built around a massive lake.
