Waving New Zealand Bye-Bye

I COULD share more holiday snap-shots but I think I've made you all envious enough. So I will leave you with this last view of the South Island as we flew across the mountains on our way home. And one last piece of trivia about the mountain range that looms over Queenstown and featured in the LotR movies. The Remarkables. Is that a great name for a mountain range or what? Anyway, one remarkable fact about the Remarkables is that the range runs dead north-south. Apparently there is only one over mountain range in the world with that same N-S alignment, and it's somewhere in the Rockies. (I'm quoting our horse-riding guide. His nickname is Popstar, so I'm not sure how reliable his information is, but it sounds good, doesn't it?)

Knowing you're a LotR fan, I imagine it's on your wish-list, Trish?

I'd love to go, but then there's that whole scared of flying thing. Remember, I'm the chick who took Amtrak to Reno. :)
