August 21, 2011... The majesty of these mountains and pure scenic beauty are amazing. Only in New Zealand have we seen this type of powerful, statuesque beauty. The highlight of our time there came as we rented a small boat and traveled out onto Lake Jackson. It is a very large lake and the western shoreline is close to the mountain range. We were not allowed to land our boat, so we were content to cruise the shores at the foot of the mountains. We saw bald eagles, an otter and one lone moose taking his time along the shore line impervious to us - only thirty yards off shore. We spent an extra night in order to spend more time there.

Such a delight to follow you on your adventure. I especially enjoyed the comment about the bald eagle selling black market watches. As much as I enjoyed the scenery, that one brought a very broad smile to my face!! Happy Travels! Love to all,M
