Nearing Te Anau

Been a long day of driving, and it's been raining on and off, so we
haven't seen much this afternoon out the bus's foggy windows. We're
almost to Te Anau where we are spending the night

Lunch in Wanaka

A very windy lunch in Wanaka!

Mount Iron

360-degree view of a variety of glacial features and history.

Lake Hawea Moraine

Rain and Waterfalls

The forecast is pretty wet/snowy the next couple of days. We probably won't be going to Milford sound because the pass is currently closed. May substitute a south coast route instead. This morning we crossed the Alpine fault right after breaking "camp", we are descending past spectacular waterfalls and gorges along the Haarst River: Thunder Falls, Gates of Haarst, and Fantail Falls.
