Saying goodbye to Jack and Klaske Murrell (along with their prize head from England), our great hosts at Lake Manapouri |
The southern part of Otago is in the middle of a severe drought, as is evident in this picture we took on the drive today. We saw many sheep grazing in brown fields. |
A typical town that we passed through today. The roads and towns were completely empty - not many people live in this area of the country. |
We passed through the town of Gore, self-proclaimed "World Capital of Brown Trout Fishing"! |
The countryside around Gore was a little greener |
We drove between the towns of Gore and Clinton, and the New Zealanders have named their highway appropriately! |
The road along the Otago Peninsula is narrow and goes right along the coast. There is no guard rail, and is somewhat nerve-racking... (especially on the left-hand water side) |

It's always funny to see how brand names differ in other countries |
