Went to the South Island for Christmas: Gillespie Circuit, Mueller Hut, grebes at ... Here's a trip report.

Like everyone in New Zealand and many people from overseas, we flew in to Queenstown. Got away from the huge hordes by going to Wanaka (small hordes) and Mount Cook Village (some visitors). Did many of the things we’d been planning: Gillespie Circuit, glacier kayaking, Mueller Hut. Also went rock climbing in Wanaka.

The bloke and I hired e-bikes today and cruised around Queenstown’s wineries. Spectacular. Five stars. Although there is a limit to how much wine one can consume and remain in control of a powered bicycle.

Obsessed with this depiction of a feral cat, enemy of the native kiwi bird, at Hokatiki.

Today I met this guy - a green hooded orchid. The little dark tongue snaps backwards to trap insects inside it so when they thrash around in panic, they get pollen all over them. Presumably they are allowed out.

Finally have something to contribute to from the land of the long white cloud.

I'm sure the sun was drawn into the stand of eucalyptus on the other side the fence.

Perennially one of my favourite spots. The walk from Cape Farewell to Triangle Flat affords incredible panoramic views of Onetahua/Farewell Spit, the Old Man Range, and Puponga.
