Well guys as its getting warmer where you all are, its definately getting chillier here! And me and Pete are just not prepared.......Pete didnt even manage to bring a jumper and tomorrow its forecast to be -2!! Australia is now a distant memory!!! Sorry for the moan. :) We have spent the last few days at the central lakes. Very beautiful. Unfortunatly the weather wasnt on our side. It didnt rain but there was loads of cloud cover so we didnt actually see Mt Cook. Mt Cook is Nz's highest mountain and on a good day the view from the across the lake is meant to be spetactular! But never mind......we have been well informed that you can also get a good view across lake mattison on the west coast....so watch this space.
