NOTE: Once again next 3 blogs are posted simultaneously but split up so more pics could be uploaded. We decided to also see Doubtful sound which rivals Milford sound as the most scenic in Fiordland. Here’s a couple pics (1) and (2). When we got back onto the boat, a young alpine parrot visited us again (3). The young ones aren’t very shy around humans. We then drove to Queenstown where many of the surrounding areas were used for scenes by Peter Jackson. The next 2 pics are LOTR related: (4) another one of the 4 rivers portraying the Anduin and (5) the edge of Fangorn forest in the 2nd movie where they burned the pile of dead orcs.

I don't see any comments, am I the only geek left that enjoys looking at the LOTR sites? Tina
This geek is right there with you. I am about to dust off the 'extended' editions and re-watch them all...
Yeah man. These posts are sweet! I can't wait for the next one. -Anonymous definitely not the author of the blog.
Have you hit any of the natural hot springs? I heard they had them and it's pretty relaxing. They are eveywhere back in the homeland. Since NZ is on the ring of fire, the volcanic activity should give you nice warm pools of water here and there....HT
We did go to one "ring of fire" spa. Kinda smells sulfury so Betsy thinks I'm breaking wind all the time.
