New photo's & picking up the pace

First off, we’re picking up the pace, no more slacking around. You might think that stopping and taking a breath allows you to value what you see and have seen, but that’s only true to some extent. If you stop too long, you’re only going to be more aware of what you’re not having that you would be having at home. So we’ve left Dunedin, went to Oamaru and then to Mt. Cook, where we are now. We’ve also decided when we’re gonna leave the South Island and head back up north, namely January 15. On that day, we’ll take the Interislander from Picton to Wellington. It’s gonna be a hassle with the car, but hey…

Furthermore, I’ve added 14 photo’s of the last four days. It’s amazing what you can do in such a short period: we’ve been to a chocolate factory, made a train journey in coaches from the 1920′s, seen the university and the steepest street in the world, spotted numerous fur seals, walked on hughe spherical boulders and tried to convince ourselfs that those black dots were really penguins. As opposed to doing nothing noteworthy the four days before that. Or the four before that, for that matter. See? That’s what I was talking about.
