Like a Rolling Stone

We are presently in Queenstown in New Zealand's South Island. Having arrived in Christchurch we headed over to the Arthur's Pass National Park for a few days tramping around, before heading down to Lake Tekapo. A few more days wandering about there brought us down to Queenstown. From here, we're heading off for more tramping in and around the Mount Aspiring National Park. We're a little hamstrung by the weather. Although it is lovely and fine and sunny, there has been quite a lot of snow abut recently which is making some of the tramping tracks impassable. The scenery and countryside is as remarkable as the postcards say it should be, with big snowy mountains looking down on lakes and forests and grassy hillocks. We're in the midst of Lord of the Rings territory now, so it's all pretty familiar. Photos and more to follow.
