A journal of my trip from Southwest Harbor, Maine to New Zealand in the summer of 2010. Traveling with my very good friends Liz & Andy Vasher and their children Louise and Kevin. Louise is currently an exchange student at the University of Otago in Dunedin, NZ.

Queenstown
Thursday, July 1. A sunny and warm day in Queenstown (mid-50s). The town is named for Queen Victoria and considers itself the adventure capital of the world. My big adventure was a visit to a spa. Andy, Louise, and Kevin went skiing, while Liz and I enjoyed a quiet day. I have an incredible view of the mountains from my hotel room and I am enjoying it! This picture is what is in front of our hotel -- Lake Wakatipu with the Remarkables mountain range (part of the Southern Alps) in the background. For those Lord of the Rings fans -- this is the area of New Zealand where it was filmed.
