We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Signapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. This yesterday morning we arrived in Christchurch and had a nice tour through the city. Today we are already leaving Christchurch. We are driving to Mount Cook. Since it is not a long drive we spent this morning in the beautiful botanic gardens. In the afternoon we are on our way to our destination. We make a stop every now and then to stretch our legs. Here we had a stop also. We simply could not restist this beautiful place. The cache was found without any problem. Thank you very much for this cache.

An early morning stop here, which is probably wise. Judging by the amount of car park spaces it looks like it gets very busy. We soon found the cache. Tricky to get to without being a victim of the thistles though. Thanks for placing.

I left Lake Tekapo this morning continuing my journey southward on Te Araroa. As the next section follows the water canals along mostly private land camping is limited and as such can be a long arduous and exposed walk, one I am sure the CO is familiar with. We opted to hire a bike, and it felt weird to cover the distance from tekapo to pukaki so quickly. I identified a potential rest stop here with picnic tables, toilet facilities and of course a cache but did not re kon with the sheer volume of tourists I encountered upon arrival..Well, it's a quick little scurry to GZ, dodge the thistles (no white paper blooms seen thankfully) and made a quick find of this cache. Now back on the road, I fancy some salmon sashimi at the info centre at the bottom of the lake. Thanks to brownscachedivers for hiding a cache here, it is great to have a string of smiley's on the geo map showing my path along the TA through Aotearoa. Cheers!-- This log is trackable ! ---- Feel free to discover ---- Please mention, in which cache you've seen this code: ---- 3TABQX --

Stopped here for a snack whilst biking to Twizel from Braemar Rd. Lots of thistles threatening to make retrieval interesting but a telltale rock showed me I was in the right place. Many thanks, BrownscacheDiversBCD. #10145

Day 8: In the MacKenzie High Country Todays highlights were, of course, the star attractions of the region, Aoraki/Mount Cook and the Lakes of the region. We attempted the two tracks in the Aoraki/Mount Cook area - the Hooker Track and the Tasman Lake one in fine but very blustery conditions at times. Then, it was off to Lake Tekapo for the obligatory tourist shots before heading back to Twizel for the evening. Thanks for all the caches in the region, they made the hikes today all the more exciting! (End of the cut and paste bit)Heres the specific log for this cache:Final cache along the lake for me and I really hate the gorse that seems to have colonised parts of the GZ. Yikes, but at least we got there in the end and could sign here with one last view across the beautiful lake. TFTC!
