Weekend Travels


Andrew and I have been taking advantage of the great fall sunshine we have been having in Southland. A couple of weeks ago we took a drive to the Catlins and did a few short walks and saw some local residents (seals), an old lighthouse, and a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Last weekend we had to travel up to Christchurch to see the US Consulate General. It was a long trip in the truck for me. There were lots of pit stops! On the way home we took the inland scenic route and stopped halfway home at Wanaka. We had a delicious Mexican meal at "Amigos" and woke up to a gorgeous day in Central Otago. We traveled up to Mount Aspiring National Park. There were fantastic views to be had and will definitely be a place to check out again in the future. Due to the fact that Andrew has a very pregnant wife we only took a short walk to an old swing bridge and were unable to complete the 2-3 hour hike straight up the side of a mountain. You can check out some pictures from New Year's at Wanaka and our trip to the Catlins on our flicker page. I will try to get pictures from the latest weekend in Wanaka up soon.
