Together at last! We met up at Christchurch airport and after a night at our friends house we set off, first to Oakarua – a pretty french fishing village and then onto Lake Tepako – the views are amazing. As its autumn here, the bright orange and yellow colours of the trees set against the blue of the sky and the turquoise of the lakes is stunning. This morning we drove upto Mount Cook which was shrouded in clouds, but as we sat down with a delicious cake and coffee – the clouds broke and the snowy tops appeared. Real WOW factor there. After that it was a longish drive to Queenstown, with some beautiful views on the way. Our motel has a lake view, tomorrow we’ll drive to Te Anau to take the trip to Millforrd Sound – another must do. Weather is glorious as you can see from pix. The teaching went so well – all students brilliant.
Made lots of contacts and hope to get back for the world cup rugby!! Just managed to upload a couple of pics – both stunning.
Thanks Edwina,
went for a walk today and came across a statue of Quentin Mackinnon – who was one of the first settlers here. Co-incidence!!
Good to hear you’re all working hard.
Not a lot of stitching, but a bit of colouring here.
