Drive from Te Anau to Queenstown

True to form, New Zealand treated us to yet another stunning drive as we made our way from Te Anau in the Fiordland region of the South Island, up toward Queensland, the "extreme sports" mecca of the area.

Once again, we'll try and let the photography (mostly Laura's) do the talking.

Of course, we weren't the only people interested in the scenery:


If there's any photograph that captures the vibe here, it's this one:

At practically any point of nearly any drive in this part of the south island, you can pull your car off the road, whip out your camera and capture scenes like these. It can get overwhelming, and it can induce extreme envy.
