After a few days in Sydney we flew to Christchurch, New Zealand for one night and then spent a day driving to Queenstown. We had a few spectacular stops on the way! Our first stop was Lake Tekapo and the Church of the Good Shepherd.
Our next stop was Lake Pukaki and it was so beautiful! This glacier-fed lake reminded me so much of the lakes in Western Canada.
Once we got to Queenstown we went up the Skyline Gondola for some spectacular views of the city, Lake Wakatipu, and the Remarkables mountain range.
Later that evening we took a vintage steamship called the TSS Earnshaw across the lake to a sheep station for dinner (which was delicious). It was fascinating to see the engineers shoveling coal into the engine to power the ship!
I fell in love with the South Island in just one day!
