Hello all,

As the New Zealanders' say....
"Good on ya'!"
Best!

Wellington
My friend Beth standing in front of my train (Christchurch to Picton) and then onto the ferry!

Geek moment... and OMG - yes... that's knitting!

My ferry from Picton (south island) to Wellington (north island)

Bust a move! Enjoy Zach... don't you love family? Hahahah!

Jette (from Germany) and I did a walking tour of Wellington city. We met at our hostel in Wellington.

Enjoy....

Lake Tekapo

Lake covered in fog...

Someone wrote this in the snow so I thought I'd pass it on... Hello mum!

I took a hike from my hostel near the lake at about 7:30am (right as it starts to get light). The lake was covered in clouds but up on St. John mountain (by the observatory) I was high enough up above the clouds and the views were spectacular. Pics don't do it justice...

More views - I watched the sun rise over these mountains


Milford Sound - these aren't in order... and yes... if they'd actually let me steer the boat I'd LOVE to!

Milford Sound - Mt. Metre - at the beginning of the boat tour

View looking west on the Milford Sound trip via bus (heading towards the pass)
Cheers mates!

Mt Somers track - Miners Trail to Woolshed Creek Hut
Arthurs Pass and road signs
Fun signs...notice how the tire tracks cross :-)


These birds are a bit aggressive! And they are known to eat rubber off of cars. I had one land on my head at the Willowbank Wildlife reserve here in Christchurch... I could just picture it biting my scalp...

Arthur's Pass - enjoy Gerry!
Road shot #800

Road shot #801... hahahah...
