Lake Middleton, there used to be a nice forest here but they’ve cut it down to build batches for rich folk

Ben Ohau Range

Rachel overlooking Lake Ohau

The road going up to the Ohau skifield

Me

Lake Ruataniwha

This too

Lots of activity here

Pipes filled with water going to

the Ohau A Power Station

All this water flows into (becomes) Lake Ruataniwha which in turn flows into Lake Benmore and beyond

I wish I could have a look inside one of these power stations

Another nice day for gliding too

Bird

The mighty Jimny

Lake Cameron

Lake Poaka, it’s warm and we feel like a swim

So we have one

This very cute bird kept following us, is it a Starling?

The lavender farm, I was here before with Jasper, back then it was free but now of course you have to pay to watch the lavender from up close

Rachel enjoying a lavender honey ice cream, I have to admit they are good

Today’s camping spot at Lake Pukaki, me cooking dinner

Rachel enjoying that dinner

What a view, and it’s free!
