Waitakii Hydro Scheme

Tiki touring down the Waitaki to look at the Hydro Stations. Eight in total.  Starting from the inlet at Tekapo and finishing at Waitaki. If you look close enough you can see Mark at least once.

Easter 2017

Awesome range of walking tracks around Mt Cook, most directly accessible from the DOC, White Horse Camping Ground. It goes without saying,"DOC Rocks."

Tekapo NZMCA Park

3hr walk from the Tekapo NZMCA Park to the mount John Observatory and back. Over the bridge, round the lake and up the hill, past the hot pools. You don't even need to drive. Cafe at the top and if you're more organised than we were you can take your togs and have a dip on the way down. Hot pool that is, not lake that would be rather chilly at this time of year.

Marching on

Marching on down to the South Island. What a lovely gentle crossing. From Wellington to Akaroa with a few senic stops in between.

Hanmer Forest Park

Hanmer Forest Park, waterfall walk. A good couple of hours walk, a few tricky parts to negotiate and a bit step at the top but well worth it, especially when you get to plunge your head under for a refreshing cool down at the top.

Tauranguary

Yeah we eventually escaped Tauranga. As beautiful as it is, with some lovely freedom camping spots to stop at, it is definitely time to move on. South Island here we come.

Omokuary

Hiding away in Omokoroa with our 4 legged friends, while everybody else has their summer holidays. I'm sure we were here this time last year but I don't remember all the pets.
