dreary queenstown, middle earth

the weather has been pretty horrible (so my pics are too!) but we're still having a ball. we visited middle earth (first 2 pics - will post the info later) and we plan to hit another location near here where they filmed many other scenes in the lord of the rings movies, so i'm looking forward to that! we sure can see why they chose this area, it's gorgeous, even in the rain, snow, sleet, and hail! now we're just praying for good enough weather tomorrow to get to milford sound, so we can 1. get through the mountains and 2. see the scenery and not just the clouds. :)
