Sitting in a very busy cafe in Franz Josef waiting for son to join the living. Rainy & cold but expected to clear later so we can go to Fox Glacier. #PraxisInNZ

Met a Kiwi today who in one breath told us how bad the gangs are here & that the new govt is getting tough on them and in the next breath how bad cops are & he hates them. Make your mind up, my dude. #Aotearoa #PraxisInNZ

Dear, gentle reader/viewer, I very rarely have any time off, let alone an actual holiday, so the flow of picture spam will stop on Sunday and won’t happen again for quite a while (probably years!). Disclaimer: long weekends do not count, and there will be pics! 😂 #PraxisInNZ

Wanaka to Te Anau. Breakfast at the Cardrona Hotel, a few view stops, and a quick walk around Arrowtown. About to go on a lake cruise/glowwormcave tour. #PraxisInNZ
The famous tree in the lake at Wanaka. Lake level very low at the moment. The famous Cardrona Hotel Just another spectacular view along the Crown Ranges, heading towards Queenstown Very pretty little river meandering through Arrowtown

Second last day in Queenstown and once again it's a stunning morning. I'm off soon to do a lake cruise. On my own as son didn't want to get up so early 🙄#PraxisInNZ
View from our apartment, looking over the lake. Long, horizontal clouds hover just beneath the mountain peaks. The sky is pale blue, tinged with pink.

More Milford Sound!
#PraxisInNZ
Heading back to the Milford Marina. View from the boat of more rocks and water and mountain peaks. Panorama shot of Milford sound. Hopefully it works and you can see it all. Massive, ugly cruise ship on the sound. I wish they weren't allowed in there. It was a real blight. The lovely walking track back to the free car park. About 20 minutes' walk and better than $40+ for parking 👍🏻

Today we're heading across the Crown Ranges to Te Anau. Late breakfast at the famous Cardrona Pub (thus the late start today) as it's close to where we are now. Weather looking great again 👍🏻
