A note to Lord of the Ring fans, parts of the movie was filmed in the South Island. Anyway, back to the story. I dragged my ignorant man to see Lake Matheson, Franz Josef, Hanmer Springs, Punakaiki, Nelson, Milford Sound, Dunedin, Queenstown, Lake Wanaka and Greymouth. I imagined a rapturous response when he came face to face with the spectacular scenery. Instead, his face was buried in a book whilst I was driving and enthusiastically running a commentary about the different sites. I swore I heard a snore...... Fast forward ten years and numerous adventures later, I've come to terms that he's a Club Med resort and museum type of guy.
Here are a few photos taken during the trip that I managed to dig out of my chest today and scanned into a digital file - 10 years later.
