Giant Fruit

The Giant fruit...what can I say, when you come into Cromwell there are giant fruit. Cromwell is known as the "fruit bowl of the south." There are orchards and Vineyards everywhere. They even have there own fruit drinks Bengi Gold which are made from the fruit in Central Otago. Curtis was really excited by the giant fruit as you can see.......

A cold day at Lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo was absolutely amazing, the water was a really bright turquoise colour. The weather was so cold and windy as you can tell by Curt's face. There was a little chapel there, were alot of people from Japan come over and get married because its such a beautiful scenery. Lake Tekapo if a hydro generating lake which passes through 8 diffrerent power stations before passing to the sea. Canterbury University operates an astronomical observatory on top of Mt. John over looking Lake Tekapo. There are extremely clear skies and low levels of local light pollution there. This picture is from the drive to Cromwell, it wouldn't upload earlier.
