Beautiful New Zealand
Arriving in the Land of the Kiwis 4/24/23, Monday Kiora ! We had a very early start Sunday morning, traveling from our hotel to the Sydney airport to catch our flight to Queenstown, New Zealand. I thought you might find it interesting to see the McDonald’s that is in the airport at Sydney. The kitchen is actually ABOVE the serving area, and all the orders are delivered down a chute. The three-hour-plus flight went well, though the approach through the mountains to Queenstown was a bit bumpy and a little scary for some. After clearing customs, we boarded the bus and headed off to the little town of Te Anau, about a two-hour drive. We had expected New Zealand, especially so far in the south, to be wet and cold, but just the opposite was true. The day was sunny and beautiful. The drive along the lake and out into the countryside was magnificent, and we soon realized why it is said that New Zealand has more sheep than people.
