NZ Photos - 10

Pictures from Arrowtown and Cromwell in Central Otago

The innocuous description of the rather steep climb up Tobin's Track


Up the climb itself


With a fantastic view as a reward. There were also a symphony of birds singing and benches to sit on at the lookout point.


Scenes from our Early Morning Sunrise Photo Shoot at our B&B in Cromwell

Even though it was sunrise, we could see the nearly full moon setting


Looking out from our B&B



Our B&B in the foreground with our trusty Toyota Corolla


This was one of the views from the patio of the winery where we had lunch. It is actually all man made from the high pressure water mining of gold done in the 1870's.

Either they are an orchard town, or a major Fruit of the Looms manufacturing center

Haha I like the giant fruit picture. And all the others. Mountains are really something else, as I have discovered after our trip. We don't have any in STL, so it's quite a site to see them on a regular basis and go all the way to the top.

Ha! We drove a Corolla too during our trip, except it was my brother's and it was missing the driver's side mirror....

Tobin's Track doesn't look like anything I would be good at climbing.
