Happy 4th!

Since I haven't been able to upload for a while here is a bunch of photos for you. (BTW I'm currently in Dunedin and just went on the Cadbury Factory tour. Actually it was kind of boring. If it weren't for the free chocolate I wouldn't have gone.)

Downtown Christchurch. I like Christchurch.

The road out of Christchurch on my way to Gerladine and Mt. Hutt.

Mt. Hutt Ski Area

I forgot to mention that I did try to go skiing on the Saturday of my arrival but it was 1:30 P.M. when I got to the top of the hill and when I found out it would cost me about $200 (NZ) for rental equipment and then I found out that the hill closes at 4:00 so I figured that I would only get about an hour and a half worth of skiing in if I hurried and got my equipment on. So I decided that I would come back in the morning. But as things go while traveling, the road called to me and I went on to Mt. Cook.

Mt. Cook and the road leading to it. Ahh inspiring...

Outside the window of my room at the Mt. Cook YHA. I don't know if you will be able to see how blue the ice is, but check out the glacier just up of the first vertical post on the fence/rail.

The Amazing Jumping Corolla and another standard amazing New Zealand view, taken somewhere along the highway to Dunedin.

Taken at a view point on the opposite side of the river of the town/city/place of Cromwell (I didn't stay or go into the town).

Metal sculpture along the highway. I miss my motorcycle!

Lake Otiago and surrounding mountains.

The city of Dunedin as seen from the inside of The Amazing Jumping Corolla.

I don't know how long I will stay in NZ but I am looking into the whole work visa thing right after I finished doing this blog stuff.
