Day 13
We had a beautiful bus ride from Christchurch to Queenstown seeing the New Zealand countryside first hand. The long bus ride was nicely punctuated with "comfort stops" and stunning vistas. The Southern Alps, vineyards, and grazing sheep were only surpassed by the view from our room on Lake Wakatipu.

Day 14
Today we took a steam boat across the lake to Walter Peak Sheep Station for a guided farm tour. Here they demonstrated how their sheepdog herds the sheep, as well as a demonstration of sheep-shearing. Again we had a beautiful setting for this informative day.

I'm jealous, Sheila! You are so right - New Zealand IS about the prettiest place.
