Leaving Queenstown Today!

The wine tour was amazing!!!! We went to 5 different wineries and had the greatest time! The wineries were Peregrine, Carrack, Chard Farm, Olssens, and Rockburn. This region, Otago, is famous for Pinot Noirs. I definitely bought a few bottles to bring back!!! The lunch was great with brie, salmon, blue cheese, bread, tomato pesto, and other yummy things.

Well it's almost 6am here and UF is on breakfast duty today and we are leaving out of here at 7am for Fox Glacier. It is a 7 hour bus ride to get there. We stop at a sheep farm and probably for lunch. I am not looking forward to that. I get bus sick on the windy roads!

Tomorrow we are climbing Fox Glacier which I am quite nervous about that. They give us boots and big jackets and then we climb frosty ladders and stuff.

Gotta run- Allison

  3. Hey Allison,

    It sounds like you had a blast on your wine tasting...and the food looked delicious. I'm so glad your having fun.

    Just got back from Cindi's. Not looking good. The Dr. said she has 2-5 days. I'm really, really sad.

    Well, have fun on your breakfast duty! I'm sure you'll have fun at the sheep farm.

    Take care!
    We love you,
