The Southern Alps, 6th December 1999

At the end of December 1999, I took my family for a tour of the South Island. We drove the Toyota Ceres from Christchurch to Hanmer Springs, Westport, Punakaiki, Franz Josep glacier, Lake Wanaka, Mt Cook, Ashburton and back to Christchurch again. On the way to Mt. Cook we saw the Southern Alps from far away. It looked very impressive indeed. Be prepared to stop the car many times for photographs. If only I had a digital camera then! The mountain scenes were fabulous so were the wild flowers on the shores of Wanaka.
