Time out...

---

some photos from the last couple of weeks.
I've booked a massage for tomorrow to help recovery and make me feel better (I hope). going to take it easy for a couple of days!

run out of steam to do the ones from this past week today. off to the organic restaurant then back to my tent for a peaceful night, other campers permitting.
I'll finish off tomorrow.

bye for now

Photos

On the beach with my guide Pahnia
must learn to stand properly for photos!

Kayaking
a lovely way to spend my birthday

birthday dinner
chocolate...and wearing my present from team Thomas (the top)

Punakaiki
waited for the blowhole that never blew!

One of the rivers to cross
it's funny as it looks like it isn't moving in the picture, but when you try to walk across it, it really is!

Wet boots and legs to prove it
only up to my knees - that was deep enough on my own.

At the top of Avalanche Peak - Arthur's Pass
a tough climb. The only training for mountains is mountains.

Kea
very cheeky parrot.

Church at Arthur's Pass - window
no need for stained glass here - just looks straight out to mountainside, forest and waterfall (although not sure you can see the waterfall that clearly here - sorry!)

Planning - what a view
sitting in the lounge at Lake Tekapo YHA doing some planning. nice view eh?
