Der zweite Teil meiner Fahrt bis runter nach Queenstown war nicht minder schön als der erste, nördliche Teil. Wiederum habe ich hunderte von Photos geschossen und ein paar davon (naja, ziemlich viele…’tschuldigung) ‘müsst’ ihr euch jetzt anschauen. Besonders beeindruckt war ich von der Morgenstimmung am Lake Matheson – ich bin um 5:30 Uhr (!) aufgestanden und zum See rausgelaufen, nur um ein Bild von der Spiegelung des Mount Cook im Wasser zu photografieren. Und auch wenn das vermutlich schon 20 Millionen Touris vor mir gemacht haben, war es das Bild wert! Schaut euch auch die anderen Bildern an unter South Island – West Coast Southern Part.
Mt. Cook reflexion at dawn
The second part of my journey down to Queenstown was at least as beautiful as the first, northern part. Again I’ve taken hundreds of photos and a few of them (ok, many…sorry) ‘must’ be admired by you now. I was especially impressed by the light at dawn around Lake Matheson – I got up at 5:30 (!) and walked down to the lake only to take a picture of Mt. Cook’s reflexion in the water. And it was worth it even though probably 20 million tourists have done the same before! Also have a look at the rest of the pictures in section South Island – West Coast Southern Part.
Catch The Trade Winds 
Am I seeing you at end of month? Bad news re knees. Stuffed but looking forward to seeing you. Can I ring you on your Swiss mobile? Is it ever turned on?
Beth
Hi Beth!
Yes, I would arrive in Sydney on Monday, 29. April at 09:40 as originall planned. And my flight from Sydney back to good old Switzerland leaves on the 6th April then so I’ll be to Australia for a week. Looking forward to meeting you!!!
If I could stay with you that would be great but of course you don’t have to change plans or organize anything – I’m a big boy!!! So, if you are not around just tell me. As usually I haven’t planed anything in detail yet…
My Swiss mobile is always turned off – fees are so incredibly high. I only use Skype on my travels. I’ll try to call you tonight!
Love,
Daniel
Am absolutely expecting you to stay and Snoopy and I are very excited. Just a pain that knees are kaput but then you are young and fit and can carry me!!
Love
Beth
I’m used to carry a backpack from the various hikes I did during the past months so I can probably carry you around… :-))) See you!
Hi Daniel
Seeing you in Sydney is getting close!
A few bits of information!
Do you remember the address! 49 PacificParade, Manly
I think you are coming on Monday.
I am unsure of the time but I will be at work.
It’s a bit of a mad house and the kitchen may not be finished or someone may be here working on it on Monday…
The key to the house will be under a white stone angel at the top of the front stairs. Please open door and put it back. I will leave your own key on the bed. Please use the room at the back of house just near the toilet – not the small bedroom where my bathroom is.
Snoopy will greet you. We have had dramas and last weekend we thought he might not survive!
I will leave a phone on your bed. It will have a prepaid sim card in with credit.
You might be able to use it on Skype if you can work it out.
I won’t be home until about 7pm.We will go to Manly to eat.
There will be loads of Tim tams in the big grocery cupboards. There will be coffee and milk in the fridge. I will try to leave a few bits also for a snack. Take and eat what you want please.
Please use the blue bathroom but this is not redone yet.
You are welcome to use my desktop computer,
Ring/txt or email me if you need to. Remember my phone number is 0412410979
My email address is beth@brosgarth .com.au
Turn on TV etc.
There is now a free Hop Skip Jump bus from Manly Wharf to outside our house. It goes from bus stop on left as you leave the wharf. I think it is the one that goes to Stocklands Balgowlah. A bit lazy but will save you lugging your back pack. It leaves the wharf every 30minutes. I will try to find out the times it leaves for you.
I will ring you to see how you are going.
remember snoopy steals FOOD.
I forgot to tell you the house is a bit like a bomb site because of the kitchen and laundry renovations. I have a fracture of the tibia and the doctor has said I have to walk minimally for another 3 months so i have not been able to bound around and tidy up! GOOD EXCUSE!!
Love
Beth
