West Coast to Lake Wanaka!


Met a great elderly couple in the Fox Glacier parking lot, they took our picture.

NZ land is beautiful

Lake Hawea lookout. Thought we were almost to camp, but it was closed. Had to continue on another couple hours.

Lord of The Rings country

Too many hills!

Cool jungly forest

Copland Track, 18km up to the Hot Springs!



Welcome Flats hot pools, in the mountains


Welcome Flat 'hut'



Ship Creek, a ships hull appeared here in 1872. Was a mystery because no shipwreck had been reported in this area. It was finally matched to a ship that sunk off of Victoria, Australia in 1855.

What not to do

Lunchtime?

Sunset from our camp by the river.


A treat at the top of Haast Pass, our big climb of the day.


Changing brake pads before a descent.
