More terribly disordered pictures.






The water's edge is taken from the shore of Lake Tekapo, which is a fabulous lake pretty near Mount Cook in the middle of the South Island. It's massive. The picture of Vicki in the snowy trees was taken from the walk up Mount John, which is a hill beside lake Tekapo. The overnight dump of snow made the entire place look lovely, but it was a tad chilly.

The mountain view is from back up on the Cass Lagoon track, being a view from the side of Mount Bruce looking out at the Southern Alps.

Then there's a snap of Matt at the commencement of the Greenstone-Caples track, a five day route near Queenstown, further south on the South Island in the brilliantly named Mount Aspiring National Park. We walked up the Caples Valley, over the McKeller pass in lots and lots of rain and back down the Greenstone Valley.
