A Short Nerdy Horsey Post, I'm sorry.

What do I say about the drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy? It's one of the most staggering drives. The mountains were craned from glaciers and just completely shoot up into the sky, it's amazing.

On our drive, we happen to take in a few stragglers... I guess they were hitch hikers, but instead of hitch hiking from the side of the road, they hitched a ride from our hostel so they could hike a trek out of Glenorchy. See what I did there?

Now, on to the horses. A horse trek is something both LP and I wanted to so from the very beginning. Kentucky girls and horses mix really well together... Unsurprisingly. We found a company called Dart Stables that incorporated terms and scenes from LOTR into the names and trails of their treks.. So obviously... Nerd life for life.

NATURALLY WE SIGNED UP FOR THE. TRILOGY LOOP.

I rode a horse named Eden. The ride was heaven and he liked to go fast. I saw the Misty Mountains, and a mountain located in Isengard. NOT MAD ABOUT IT.

The scenery in this country is already unreal, but then to see the real life version of what you've seen on the silver scream, I mean... What?!
