Taupo


"Wha'd ya call me?"

This was taken on the side of the road that we had to take up to Milford Sound. The road was OK at the start, but eventually we had to follow a snow plow to get to the top.


Milford Sound


Lake Pukaki


Mt. Cook is in the middle, over the lateral morraine. Once, Sir Edmund Hillary's playground.


Moeraki Boulders


On the ferry back up to the North island, I walked onto the back of the boat to get some fresh air. This is what I was looking at . . .


. . . Or more close up. The air wasnt so fresh. There was a cattle car next to that one as well.


Right now, Im in Taupo using the Internet hoping that the weather will clear, so that we can do the Tongariro crossing tomorrow. If not then well have to leave here early to hit Rotorura and do some rafting.
