Milford Sound with Mitre Peak

I am finally posting some pictures of our journey with the Totty's and grandmother around the South Island. We rented a van and left last Saturday and travelled for 8 days. We took the counter-clockwise route...Nelson, down the West Coast to Fox Glacier, then through Haast Pass to Queenstown, over to Milford Sound and then up past Lake Tekapo to Christchurch. 2700 kilometers later we were home. It was a lot of fun! Highlights of the trip: staying in a bed & breakfast in Nelson with a pastor that we had met in Christchurch, hiking with grandmother up to Fox Glacier, beautiful weather as we drove through the valleys and mountains, staying in our luxurious apartment in Queenstown overlooking Lake Wakitipu, jetboat riding through Dart Valley (one of the prettiest places I've ever been), the drive to Milford Sound, staying in a hostel where the bathroom was quite a ways away, the helicopter ride up to a remote glacier. We didn't waste a moments time! Since we have been back home we have played golf and Blaine and I have gone back to work but the family continues to tour around the Christchurch area. Mrs. Totty cooked a Huge portion of spaghetti and chocolate cake and we had 8 friends over last night for dinner. Blaine's dad leaves Saturday and his mom and grandmother fly out Monday. Then Melissa and Michelle arrive on Wednesday!!!! Yea. We have decided to run a bed & breakfast out of our house now, so come on over!
