Some of you have been there and so are familiar with the views. The image of the windswept trees is a well known one. I think I have seen this set in a photography book, or at least a similar one. The wind blown, rugged look is typical, and some other photographers have done bette than me to produce a high contrast “dark” and haunting image.
Anyway, we were there before new year as the sand message indicates. We are not the authors of this I must add-plagiarism by my family. We had a good time there, the weather not surprisingly was cold, wet and windy on occasions, though we id not expect anything different so it was fine.
As you see we went to Slope Point, the most southern tip of mainland NZ. So now we have been to the most westerly point in Australia, the most southerly point of England, and Slope Point. I am unsure there is more in life that needs doing.
During our time we stayed in a cabin on a sheep farm, and a backpackers in Owaka. Possibly the best we had over the whole trip.
Maybe tomorrow a mention of Fiordland, and then I will move on from out 3,300Km round trip, and instead moan about the current lack of summer weather.
PS. After comments from SQ I would like to say that the image of the trees is mine and not obtained from elsewhere.
