Our campsite in Ross, near the lake.

 



Tim and Cindie and their bikes, photo by Isidro.

 



The historic Empire Hotel, Ross, West Coast of the South Island.

 



Cindie shaking the morning dew off the tent fly.

 



A one lane bridge, we had to give way.

 



Our first glimpse of Mount Cook.

 



Tim took a photo of my water bottle, then I lost it the next day.

 



This means the bridge has railroad tracks across it.

 



The beach between Punakaiki

 



A railroad bridge.

 



That big thing hanging above the sign is a sand fly.

 



What in the world?  Tim liked it because it looked old but we don't know what it is.

 



Isidro couldn't be happier, our amigo from Spain.

 



Ah yes, Tim says the cars can wait because there is no room to pass.

 



The road is clear and smooth.

 



The vegetation is rainforest.

 



Our campsite before Franz Joseph glacier.

 



The river had clear water.

 



Our first snow capped mountains in the southern alps of new zealand.
