the next batch of pictures are taken from a recent trip to the South Island.
Mieke & I drove across, taking the ferry from the North Island at Wellington, meeting our English friends Rob & Sarah in Queenstown.

On the drive down, Mieke & I stopped off in Christchurch staying with some distant relatives. We made plenty of time for eating good food as well as the odd bit of ski-ing, snowboarding and sight-seeing, then on the drive back, Mieke & I took in some of the spectacular sites of the west coast (beaches, glaciers and some interesting rock formations).
