The ride from Te Anau to Milford is absolutely stunning as is the boat ride. DO NOT MISS IT. That is included in my package when we leave Queenstown. Dunedin: If you don't do the train ride, visit the railway station for a good look anyway. It is the most photographed building in NZ for good reason. I like trains (as opposed to turtles) I also thoroughly enjoyed wandering around the streets of Dunedin gawking at the lovely old homes and other architecture. I don't want to be like Wellington and get lost looking for Cuba Lane. (Only to find myself actually in it) Where else are you going on the Tiki Tour? Bay Of Islands, Auckland, Whangamata, Rotorua, Turangi, Welly, Blenheim, Nelson, Abel Tasman Park, Greymouth, Fox Glacier, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Dunnydin and finishing up at Chch (And not staying there thankfully) Lanarch's Castle was a waste of time in my opinion, ok for a oncer but since I lived down that way for most of my life I have been a few times. Well it's a one off. Taieri Gorge trip is good, but it is a long trip.As long as the Overlander? Dunedin railway station is certainly worth a quick look, takes all of 10 minutes to go in look up and take a few photos. A great old building indeed. If I have time, I will see it. Queenstown: We did the Luge which was fun, not cheap and not as good as Rotorua's one. Only two tracks and a bit shorter than Rotorua.Might be part of trip. The other trip we did some years ago is the Skippers Gorge trip. Quite good but I liked the Macetown one better by far.Duly noted And as Foxy says the Milford trip is great. It is a long day to do it from Queenstown but it can be done. If the weather is fine you see the tops of the hills and it is nicer outside on the boat, but if it is raining it has it's own benefits like better waterfalls. Part of package Queenstown caters for most from the oldies like me that want a more sedate life to the Adrenalin junkies that just want to be scared ****less time after time. Thats me. Have a PF1 meet with Nofam? Where's he located?	bob_doe_nz (92)
