Wanaka - New Zealand
8/19/05
This was the last day with Flavien in New Zealand; we drove to Wanaka in the morning and did a short walk next to town called Mt Iron walk. I think that only in New Zealand you can find easy walks that rewards you with such superb views.
Mt Iron walk didn't take us more then 30 min to the top and it provided a 360° view with mountains in any direction you can possibly look.

Then we had lunch and Flavien left with the car to Christchurch where from he flew out of New Zealand.
Flavien, we spent three great weeks together; thanks for joining us again and we hope to see you soon in South America!
So we were left on the road and hitch-hiked to Fox Glacier. Lots of people stopped but weren't going any further than the next village located a few miles away. Eventually a nice British woman traveling in a campervan took us all the way to the glacier.
Once more, the landscape along the road was amazing. Next to Haast, on the west coast, we stopped on a view point where we could see a beach in the distance full of seals.
We got there around 7 p.m. and found a place to stay.

I really appreciated the 3 weeks also guys. And, when I now see what have have been doing during the next 2 weeks after my departure, I wonder why I didn't stay longer with you !
Now, I am 100% sure that I will go back there sometime soon in my life (even though it is really far far away from everything). Thanks again.

By the way, the road back to Christchurch from Wanaka also offers fantastic views from lakes, mountains, huge plains surrounded with beautiful rocks, etc. I strongly recommend this way down to the south and Queenstown in fact and not the coastal way.
Flavien.
