Hi Karen,
As Camilla and I wait to board our plane from New Zealand for a long journey home, we write to thank you for putting together a most wonderful six week adventure?in Australia and New Zealand. It?s difficult to choose a favorite spot. I have been to a lot of spectacularly beautiful places in the world but none surpass Lord Howe Island off the coast of New South Wales.
When flying from Sydney to New Zealand we thought nothing could possibly top our initial three weeks in Australia.? We?left with such a love for your country and an appreciation for every single excellent accommodation you provided us.?? Now as we discuss it, we cannot choose between the two countries. Apples and oranges but equally sweet. We leave New Zealand with so much appreciation for this place . . . the beauty just never ends.
Although we were initially worried about all the strenuous activities you had scheduled for us we are extremely glad we missed none of them.? ?Each hike turned out to be truly memorable?- especially the three days on the Routeburn Track that was simply spectacular. ?Every kayak experience was stunning.? We were apprehensive about the seven hour caving and rock climbing adventure in Waitomo but loved it.? We had never done anything like that before.? It was exhilarating, thrilling and we were captivated by the beautiful glow worms.? It was like looking at the Galaxy on a beautiful clear night.
This photo is a view from our fabulous cottage at Bay of Many Coves. Another winner. I?ve traveled a lot and this adventure is up there with my best.
You did a great job!
Rick
