Transalpine Train

I don't know anything about this train - I was told that there wasn't any train transporation in NZ before I got there, so I didn't plan on any. I would guess this train must go across country between the East and West coasts, but I don't know for sure.

Lake Wanaka

I had tea (dinner) with Patsy here after my horse trekking adventure. It was a grand meal - corned beef (silverback), a veggie much like spinach (silver beet) and potatoes. This is my first exposure to home cooking and it's even better than hot pies.

Lake Tekapo

I could have driven past this on my way to Cromwell from Christchurch, but I chose to go down the coast instead.

Hooker Valley with Southern Alps in background

I don't even know if I drove thru this valley on my way from Cromwell to the West Coast. It's pretty tho.

Earnslaw Park, Queenstown

I didn't get to see Queenstown either - I chose the tour of Maniatoto and the highlight of that bus trip was the sheep on the road.
