Auckland Cycle Touring Association South Island Tour, 2008
17 & 18 February, 2008
Before this tour had gone 10km we were confronted with
If you had time to look back over your shoulder you were amply rewarded.
Near the summit it looks like the plants are running out of oxygen too!
Then it is reward time.
This photo was taken a couple of weeks later, after
the tour had finished.
On the tour day we had had glorious blue skies.
Another reward
- coffee (or whatever) was consumed in large quantities
in the delightful garden at the back of the Pub.
We were lucky : two weeks later the pub was closed as a rather large wedding party had arrived here.

Margaret L spotted
the only shade (so it seemed) between Wanaka and Cromwell
in a private driveway. She asked if it was OK for us to have our lunch there.
Not only was it OK, our lovely hostess delivered a bagful of plums to us to feast on.
Southern Hospitality.
The fridge (among
other things) in the Chalets Holiday Park left something to be desired.
I have never before seen a glacier in a campgound (or any other) fridge!
