Queenstown, New Zealand Well, I've always wanted to travei finally made it! We arrived on the 14-hour flight from Los Angeles. First of days in Christchurch, and then we rented

"down under," and we South Island after a we stayed for a couple a car and drove here.

It's fali in New Zealand. It feels like November, and the leaves are falling. Queenstown is in the Southern Alps. The scenery is just incredible - a lake on one side and snowy peaks ali around. I took a sky train into the mountains this morning. It's 50 beautiful. In some ways, New Zealand is more like the U.K. than the U.S. The food is mostly British, and they love to drink tea here! I've had tea every afternoon since I arrived. A bit of a change for me - at home I always drink coffee. We're going to Milford Sound tomorrow. That's on the west coast. People say the scenery there is like parts of Norway.

= ==

D Queenstown is near a lake. D New Zealanders drink a lot of tea.

It's Ted's first trip to New Zealand. [] They're on the South Island. They drove to Queenstown. It's ovember in New Zealand.

D D © Cambridge

Ted usually drinks tea. Queenstown looks like Narway.
