Those 'pics

1. View from ferry looking out into Marlborough sound. Sweet as eh?
2. Another view of the sounds from Queen Charlotte Drive, a twisty turny road with ace descents. Vegetation (and good weather) gave the place a tropical feel.
3. A boat house just before we arrived in Havelock, our first camp.
4. A river on day 2 at Picton Bridge scenic reserve.
5. Baz on day 2 showboating from the camera. I've seen a lot of his backside so far on this tour!
6. Me racing a young (and rather rigid) Ernest Rutherford, the Kiwi that split the atom.
7. Me cheesing it up in action on day three where we had a crazy headwind for 90km to St. Arnaud, an alpine ski resort.
8. A view from the Rainbow Road out of St. Arnaud - a 112km off road track that took two days to traverse.
9. Baz crossing one of the dozens of fords on the Rainbow Road.
10. Me on the Rainbow Road with big mountains and scree slopes in the background.
11. The view down the valley to Hanmer Springs, a spa resort.
12. The view of the Cantebury plains on out way to Christchurch.

We're now in Christchurch, it's day 6 and we've travelled over 500km. Knee is sweet - new bike position working well. Tomorrow we climb aboard the Tranzalpine Train to go to the west coast at Greymouth where we plan to head south.

Must dash, cyber cafe about to close.

G'day...
