South Island NZ Snippets

Hi folks, sorry for the long radio silence resulting from having a bit too much fun being a housewife in Melbourne. The food posts will come, but here's some travel pics for a start. We managed to make it to Queenstown for the tail end of ski season, which fortunately for us was extended due to a streak of good luck and cold weather. We've been doing a lot of touring since coming to Melbourne and I'll leave you with these pics for now, before composing the food posts. These photos haven't been edited one bit, which is more a reflection of the amazing beauty of the South Island rather than my dodgy photography skills.

Road to/from Remarkables skifields, Queenstown.
