South Island Travels















It really was a beautiful contrast to come from super urban South Korea to small town and rural New Zealand. I couldn't keep my eyes off the different landscapes as I travelled through.

This series of pics includes a shot of Clare and her Dad inland from Timaru. It was blowing and cold. It was the quickest photo ever as I didn't want to ask them to pose for long or they would be blown away.















Clare, Tommy (Clare's 2nd brother) and his mate Tim are on the bench at Ruby Island which is situated in Lake Wanaka. We Kayaked out and then took the short walk to the top to enjoy our snacks. It took about 1/2 hour to kayak there. As inexperienced kayakers we felt our arms the next day!

The orchard scene is from Southern Orchard in Roxburgh. It is the largest apple orchard in the Southern Hemisphere! I spent 10 days staying with my mate Ian (in the separate photo with his dog Thor) picking apples.
