We were up at the crack of dawn today having scheduled breakfast for 0715 so that we could make a quick exit because we had drive to Te Anau for our next B & B. This was a spectacular drive across the bottom of New Zealand to the Fiordlands of the South East. Tomorrow at 0730 a bus stops to pick us up for the 2 ½ hour trip to Milford Sound where we will take a cruise on the Fiords. After we had that all arranged we went to the Fiordlands National Park and hiked for about 2 hours. The start of the hike was a swinging bridge over a river that was used in filming Lord of the Rings. The hike itself was into wetlands, ferns and trees. It was wonderful to get out and hike a bit. Te Anau is a small tourist town, very neat and tidy and clean. Our hosts here are Phil and Sandy Scott. When we got back from our hike and dinner we sat up and talked to them about a little of everything.

That bridge does look scary! Aren't you afraid of heights, like the rest of the family? You guys are on the go! This blog is sure a great way to know what your up to :) Thanks for sharing, it's fun to check up on you.
