Camper Capers

Hello there. We have covered a fair amount of ground since we picked up the camper. After getting sorted with our gear we headed inland to a place called peel forest, where we went for a short walk along a river and tossed a rugby ball about, that evening we collected firewood and had a nice little fire by the camper, we even cooked our dinner over the embers. We were hoping to go white water rafting the next day but too much rain meant the river was too full, so instead we headed to Lake Tekapo, a nice lake in the shadow of the southern alps. The rain that had scuppered our rafting at peel forest had dusted the lake Tekapo region with snow, and made for a very pretty scene. After a walk around the lake and a nice warm cup of tea we headed towards Mount Cook the highest peak in NZ. The mountains were all covered in thick cloud when we arrived at the campsite, and it snowed again that evening. However when we woke the sky was crystal clear and the mountains glistened with fresh snow. We went for a walk up to the foot of two glaciers around mount cook, which took us all day and now after i finish up on here we are giong to cook dinner and find a place to park up and sleep. Next stop Dunedin, the scottish city. blog soon.
