Project Honeymoon - Day 17: Drive to Queenstown

Fox Glacier
Our Last NZ Drive - And it's another long one...6 hours.  Looking forward to our 3 night stay in Queenstown which is our final NZ destination.   From there we fly back to Auckland and then fly home.

Fox Glacier - This glacier is actually bigger than the Franz Josef Glacier we hiked yesterday.  We're able to find a lookout point to get a photo.  It's hard to conceptualize the size of the glacier in my photo.  Hubby took photos with his SLR and was able to zoom in on a helicoptor enough that it appeared as a little black dot in the distance.

Beautiful Beach - The drive is scenic as usual.  Hubby and I spot an amazing beach in the distance.  The water is blue with white sand and amazing large rocks.  It's picture perfect...too bad we were behind a huge bus that kept on getting in the way of my shot...grrr.
Beautiful Beach with Bus in theway...argh!
Beach Stop - We see a rest stop close to the beach and hope we can get some good photos.  Unfortunately, this doesn't seem like the same beach (less rocky), but the huge waves make it interesting.

Amazing Apartment! - Our Queenstown accomodation turns out to be the best one of the entire trip.  We booked ourselves an apartment on the lake.  Both hubby and I are stunned with how incredible the place is.  It's bigger than our apartment back home!  We love the kitchen and the view is amazing.  There's even a dishwasher and ensuite laundry.  Great place to chill out for the next 3 nights.
