It is Tuesday morning here. Yesterday, Erin went bungy jumping and lived to tell about it!! She jumped off the Nevis Bungy, which is the highest in New Zealand and one of the highest in the world. Basically, you take a cable car out across a gorge. They have a little station set up out in the gorge, which you then jump off of. She has a little video of it that she might post. While she was jumping, I drove the car from Queenstown to Glenorchy along the lake. Very curvy, windy road. Beautiful also. That seems to be a common word for me lately. The weather was sunny and nice. After Erin returned, we drove from Queenstown to Te Anau, about 2 hour drive. We went to the Te Anau Glow Worm caves. Unlike Erin's much earlier blog about Glow worm caves, we simply walked into the cave and took a small boat (we did not army crawl and rapel down waterfalls). Glow worms are only located in New Zealand. You are not allowed to take pictures of the glow worms, because they do not like light.

Today, Tuesday, we are driving to Dunedin area. Dunedin area has many penguin colonies, so this is our main goal for the next two days. The sky is clear and sunny again today, but a little cool, probably about 58 degrees.

Bye for now. Sheila
