Day 8 – Shotover Canyon and Te Anau

Today we are leaving Queenstown, but we decided to have one last hurrah by jumping into a canyon. Jamie took it for the team and went first.

Fiona and Leah went next, in a beautiful mother-daughter tandem fall:

And finally, Ashley doing his best impression of a sugar glider:

After that excitement, we calmed down with a leisurely drive to Te Anau. We spent the rest of the day strolling around town, doing a little food shopping, and having dinner at the local Asian fusion cafe (Ditto).

Tomorrow we’ll be visiting Milford Sound, which should be a highlight of the trip.
