Today we hiked to the terminus of Fox glacier at the foot of the highest peak in NZ, Mt. Cook (12,000+ ft). The glacier is 8 miles long, running from the base of Mt. Cook down to almost sea level in the rain forest by the Tasman Sea.

Marlborough wine region
Outside of Cloudy Bay "cellar door" here, vineyards are surrounded by mountains on all sides. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noirs are the region's specialty. Blenheim is the town at the heart of wine tasting in the Marlborough region...and that's where we stayed.

RV'n
"Big Benny", as we have affectionately named our campervan, is one sweet ride! 
Fully self contained, with kitchen, bathroom, shower, bedroom, outdoor grill, partially powered by solar panel on top... Home away from home!

It seems each town is more picturesque than the last...we're on our way to the Marlborough wine region.
Holy Sheep!
Imagine going 100 km/hr around a corner into this... Baaaaa! There are 10 times as many sheep in NZ than people.
