Mount Tongariro with snow
Jack and I wanted to hike the Tongariro pass,
but the mountain had other ideas


View from the New Zealand roadside
View from the roadside leaving the Tongariro park on the way south


View of the New Zealand countryside
They tell us the south island has more scenery, but the views along the roadside Saturday were gorgeous


Wellington from the ferry
Wellington has a population of around 300,000
It's the capital of New Zealand (there aren't a lot of people here)


View from the InterIslander ferry
There were some spectacular views from the ferry on the way south


Crossing Cook Strait
The Inter-Islander ferry was huge, yet nimbly handled these tight straits


harbor at Picton with boats
Welcome to Picton in the South Island, population 12,000
It's one of the bigger towns in the South


Mt. Cook from a hiking trail
Mount Cook is the biggest mountain in the north part
of the south island, and can be seen from the north
Here is a view from a hike I took along the way south


Bay view
I am continually amazed at how rural the area is right up to the ocean
We saw cattle grazing in many places next to the seaside
