Today we leave Christchurch and head for the West coast.
This was the Best Western we stayed at last night.
This is that 2-speed toilet I was talking about.
We have rented a car and it's good thing we have Jesse to drive it.
As we head West the mountains come into view.
Don't play on the tracks.
Check this out - we're doing a 100 and it's the speed limit.
Back seat crew.
This is the SUV we rented.
Out here they tell it how it is.
Getting closer to the mountains.
Once in the snow, war breaks out.
That snow is cold.
The view is something eles.
Love on a hilltop.
Time to move on.
Time out for a photo shot.
These guys are everywhere.
This is a Kea, they are real beggers and very smart.
Who's driving that Jeep?
We stop at the Wobbly Kea for lunch.
One of the items on the menu is Lamb Rump Salad.
Big waterfall off in the distance.
Talk about half and half.
This is a male and female duck. You always see them together.
What a way to advertise.
We reach the coast and the sun comes out.
Notice I am the only one without ice cream.
This is Sue's paradise with all the rocks.
Everywhere you look there are pubs all over here.
Amanda, taking pictures.
We drive down the coast to the town of Franz Josef and spend the night.
Tomorrow we head to Fox Glacier, where we take a helicopter up to the glacier,
and then hike for 4 hours exploring it.
See you then.......
