OK - final installment from top the South Island, NZ. We have now driven a final 500 km of the south island up to Picton from where we caught the Interislander ferry to Wellington, north island.
...everywhere, sheep.
Warm sunshine at last - ski lodge at Lynton, after 10 cm overnight snow on the slopes above - it was difficult not to hire a snowboard at this moment. We settled for coffee.
Photogenic sheep somewhere above Kaikoura.
Spectacular scenes from the alpine pacific triangle touring route.
Warm in the valley, cold on the peaks.
See the 782 black dots on the rocks? They're fur seals...
...here is a close up of these lazy 'blubbers'.
Our very own cottage in Kaikoura with its own garden....
....spectacular mountain view....
...and gas BBQ :-)
Kaikoura Peninsula - pics from our evening walk...
3 seconds later I electrocuted myself on the fence to my right....was really shocking!
...just a good one so its in. (Mum, Dad - me on the left)
...as is this one.
mooo
Hey...we paid good money to see you....get back here!
We saw 4 Sperm whales on our tip...amazing!
...here's number 4 in Kaikoura town center :-)
Finally reached Picton in the far north of the south island.
More road blocks...this time cattle.
somewhere in Queen charlotte sound....good pic hun!
Suvi in happy place at Malborough wine region....Hunter Vinyard sampling wine...Dad seems in a hurry to taste this one.
Picton in the afternoon sunshine.

Bye bye South Island :-)
