3 - - New Zealand, Picton to Queenstown

 

Don't get in the way of these two

 

 

I put this in just because I like these two

 

 

There really is a driver in there

 

 

 

 

 

Japanese garden near Westport

 

 

 

 

Headed toward the Southern Alps

 

 

Sometimes ya just gotta rough 'em up

 

 

To sleep five we had to stow our gear in the front

 

 

Catching up on the journal

 

 

The weather kept us at Murchison for a bit, but the food here was good

 

 

Kevin's great find near Westport - - Cape Foulwind

 

 

So named by Captain Cook for obvious reasons

 

 

Sorry you can't feel the wind and smell the sea

 

 

Waiting out the storm that never ends

 

 

Ready to hike the trail around Cape Foulwind

 

 

Kekeno Seals

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can get anywhere from here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Somebody has to do the work

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frans Joseph Glacier

 

 

Frans Joseph Jr. & Frans Joseph Sr.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fox Glacier

 

 

 

 

Fox glacier did this. It reached 2 miles farther down 200 years ago

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I like the New Zealand juice

 

 

My personal photo-op

 

 

View from Haast, midway down the west coast

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walk this path to see the major events of world history

 

 

We got some Korean food for the journey

 

 

I think Kevin drives Danielle  to do things like this

 

 

 

 

Getting our ducks in a row

 

Great but disturbing photos showing our impact on the planet

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arriving at beautiful Queenstown

 

 

Our last breakfast with Kevin and Danielle

 

 

And I thought the Starbucks menu was a bit much

 

 

Leaving New Zealand is tough but it helps if you're going to Hawaii . . .
