In the back country

River by our camp

Once again, sick of the sandflies we headed off to cross the Southern Alps at the Lewis Pass, which was a really nice drive. We ended up in Hanmer Springs which was ultra-busy so after a refuel and a visit to the Doc Office we chose to take an adventurous route through Molesworth Station – the biggest farm in NZ. The road was rough, so slow going, but the views were great and we got to Accommodation House by mid-afternoon. This was another Doc campsite at an old cottage, used by trekkers. The site was really nice and near a River, so of course Chris went off “ing”, returning unsuccessful.

After dinner we took a nice loop walk around the campsite to take in the amazing views and then Chris went for another “ing”, nearly fishing, as he did get a bite, but still no fish, very frustrating.
