Heading to Te Anau

The day began with a 6km run through the countryside near the Manor and continued with breakfast and.......




A little sheep farming. Frank is providing Sharleen with some sheep information. Frank (our host) is a retired farmer so he has all the scoop.






Sharleen seemed to take to the sheep farming thing right away. It might be the zoo training or just a natural ability but in any case the sheep seemed happy










The flat kids seemed to enjoy the sheep as well. Maybe it's the farmer in them.







We drove up from Frank and Pat's to the little town of Te Anau. The town is set in the Southern Alps of the South Island and reminds me of a Swiss alpine village. The snow capped mountains are spectacular when they peek out of the clouds.
Tomorrow we take a bus up to Milford Sound in the mountains and a boat trip on the Sound. It's a full day so I'll be back on this on Saturday morning.
