It has been warm and hot today with a little rain and humidity. We have now lost the cold weather I hope!

I just looked at my yesterday’s blog of Pancake Rocks and had to laugh. The photos wouldn’t upload so I assumed. Now I find all my attempts have uploaded and far too many repeated oops! Blame it on this wifi connection here. I can sort it later.

Today we slowly drove along the Lewis Pass and stopped to admire and take pics where we could.

It is a lovely route to take across the South Island. We didn’t go all the way though! Back along a part of Buller Gorge we hadn’t seen yesterday we stopped at a powerful waterfall Maruia Falls on Larry River.

So hopefully my photos work out today xxxx love to you all

Can you spot grandad?

We are back now and enjoying the hot sunshine. We move on tomorrow further North West to Takaka Valley. This time for 5 nights to see all there is up and around that area. It will be quite isolated I think but lots to discover.
