After a fantastic couple of days it was time to head back to the mainland and Invercargill. I was interested to se Burt Monro’s place of residence and his bike. I stayed at the Railway Hotel which has been refurbished without spoiling the ambience that it had in earlier years. But the aim of the stop was to see the Fastest Little Indian. I was … Continue reading Invercargill

When I planned out this trip I allowed a couple of days ambling driving past the southern alps (Ka Tirititiri O Te Mona)to see Franz Josef, Lake Wanaka and Queenstown but the weather decided otherwise. The picture above is one that epitomised the next 2 days driving with the exception of a couple of breaks. On the way to Haast I stopped off at Ships … Continue reading On the way to Fiordland
