This is the start of the spectacular Tranzalpine train from Christchurch to Greymouth.

This is the start of an incredible two week journey that I did'nt want to end. Although the train only took about 4 hours.

This is Al's uncles place Paddy Freaney's. The Beazley Hotel, could'nt believe it when I saw it. Al showed me pictures from when he visited.

One of the best pictures from the whole trip, just outside of Fox Glacier we stopped for breakfast at Lake this view is back up to Mt Cook.

One of the nightly stop overs at the desolate Makarora.

The view down Lake Hawea. Sounds geordie to me.

Sitting in Wanaka looking across its lake.

Home in Queenstown the view from the hostel window, fresh.

The view across Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown.

Views from the back of Queenstown, where the first Para-gliding bungee was taking place.

Moeraki Beach.

And the Moeraki Boulders, with Becky and Catherine.

More sites from the Magic bus.

Another stunning view from the Hostel, this time in Kaikoura, where moments later some Dolphins came in to feed.

Leaving the South Island from Picton.

And through the gap, The North island.

Rotorua, home of hot mud pools and Geysers.

And Maori traditional shows.
