We’re really beginning to get into some beautiful country-side now (as if we hadn’t already!) We’re now headed from Ashburton west and south towards Twizel. We stop a few times to take photos of the stunningly beautiful farming countryside… and the views as we travel.
Everyone’s out of the bus taking pictures of the picturesque countryside.
As we continue traveling towards the center of the island we’re beginning to see the mountains to our west. As beautiful as they are from here…. we do not begin to suspect the beauty we are going to experience in the next few days.



While in Tekapo, if you have the chance, go up to the top of Mt John. The views are breathtaking.
Alas this will have to wait until we return… we’re back home now, and I’m reliving our BEAUTIFUL trip with my blogging about it. However, I will take this into consideration and make note of it, as we ARE going to come back to New Zealand… hopefully more than once.
