next page

March 2005
 


 

  


We do not bring our "Gazelle" in New Zealand. We have left it in Sydney Harbour where it must be shipped directly to
Panama. New environment : a traditional camper van.
As usual, we are late in the season. Then, we start with the south island before the weather will change our expedition
in a martyrdom.

Mont Cook National Park:
  
The highest point of this wild country is among a national park suitable for a lot of trek. We make a small one.
                                                           
Queenstown :

National capital (perhaps worldwide) of amazing, crazy, stupid, funny sports...based near a splendid mountain lake,
we spend an afternoon doing kart. The newzealanders are clear with their love of sports and associate all the family.
A forbidden activity for under 12 years old in France is great for 4 years old here.
  
After two quiet slopes, Pollux likes its game, gets self-confident and do not accept to get overtaken...
  

Milford Sound :

His Majesty the Milford Sound...perhaps one of the most beautiful place we have seen during the last two years. More,
we are lucky with the weather; usually, it rains everyday!!
  

  
boat trip on the Fjord...                                           ...going very very near the cascades.
  



  
                                                              sea lions in the sun
  

Wanaka :

lake, mountains, clouds (a lot...)... so, it is the south of New Zealand.
                 
An enthusiast of labyrinth, thought games, magic... gets installed in Wanaka. The labyrinth is in thee dimensions...
we spend a lot of time !!




The Fox et Franz Glaciers :

access plain to the glaciers
  
away from each other by only a few kilometres, the two glaciers are at the sea level.
  



Pancake Rocks :
  

  

  
                                  Sometimes, we are really on another planet
    

Abel Tasman National Park :
In the North ofthe south island, this national park is accessible only by sea. It is a paradise for kayaking and trekking.
  
Our taxi is waiting for us.
  

                

  

                

  
                                                                    We are happy of the day
Nelson :
  In a little town, we find the musuem of
wearable arts. It is a great delirium. Even the prime minister (who is a woman) has weared one of those
the day of the parade. I would like to see our president with this kind of clothe!!!
                

                

                a great delirium !!!

Picton :

The crossing between the two islands is done by ferry. The weather is really bad today. We expect a big storm of
the roaring forties...
  
Here we are...at the entrance of the straight of Cook; Strenght 8/9 and 7 meters waves... it moves a lot !!
