| On to Queenstown, where we resisted the urge to pay extremely high prices for extreme sports, and went hiking for free. At this point in the Ben Lomond hike, you get a panoramic view of the snow capped 'Remarkables' and the Southern Alps, better known as the Misty Mountains from the movies. |
| Its hard to say where alot of the scenes in the LOTR movies were filmed, because quite often fields and rivers were digitally superimposed on mountains and skies from different parts of the country. Some are quite unmistakable though. |
| Kendra was pretty suprised to see her last name on everything down here. Wormald is a huge name in security in both NZ and Australia. |

| That same 'bloke' dropped us off at Fox Glacier, one of the only areas in the world where a glacier meets a rainforest. |
| We settled (for a week) on a farm along the west coast and met a British girl named Clare, and an interesting neighbor who taught us a, very unique new skill.... |
