Right so, where was I?. Just about to set off for Te Anau I believe. Following a few sucesses at hitching fairly short distances we thought we'd try our hand(or thumb at least!)- sorry bad joke) at hitching a bit further, and it has proved very sucessful. On the way to Te anau it took about an hour and a half to get a lift which still left us enough time to start the Kepler track that afternoon. It wasn't the most exciting walk for the first couple of days, just fairly flat and in the forest. The 3rd day was quality though, it was raining and hella windy but really good fun ridge walking. We stayed a night in Te Anau after the walk and treated ourselves to a pub supper (mmmm steak). In the meantime Mike had decided to walk another track whilst Em and I headed back to Queenstown before heading up the West coast. So it was just the two of us hitching the following morning and just as Emma was singing her (soon to be no.1) '29 minutes to Queenstown', we got a lift from a quality bloke from bath- sorry if your reading this it seems we didn't catch your name. He took us all the way to Queenstown so we were back in time for lunch.
Since then we have headed up the West coast, firstly stopping in Fox glacier where we spent two nights. On the first morning we got up at 5am to ride down to lake Matherson where we
took some photos of sunrise over Mt Cook reflected in the lake. We then stopped in Greymouth where it rained so we read books and watched films (if you ever get the chance to watch Dead poets society the don't bother- its rubbish with a capital RUBBISH). And that brings us to now in Nelson where the tinterweb is free!!! and as a consequence we will be uploading photos on to our newly formed photo website. There are already some on there but will add a load more tomorrow. Hope everyone is fine and dandy. Oh almost forgot

let me know.
Oh and also..... What do you call a halfling with one leg?... A Hoppit!!

Have managed to open the photos on my computer which is now in working order again.Mind you I am not terribly confident that it is a permanent cure as they couldn't find anything wrong with it! Glad you are having an ace time it is so good to have some visuals. Thanks and take care
