We stayed in Te Anau for a couple of days and met these delightful German girls who shared our hostel space with us. They kindly offered to give us a ride south as they were going to Invercargill. The picture below is the coast near Invercargill. It actually snowed six inched in Te Anau the night before we left. The countryside was beautiful. sorry I didn't get any pictures of that.
One of the stops on the car ride was a short hike to two beautiful waterfalls. Here are our new friends, Lisa (left) and Sarah.
That same day we did another short walk on a river trail.
This was our turn around spot.
That night we had a difficult time finding a hostel since we arrived in Dunedin after dark and the map was so small the light dim. Sarah and Lisa did a great job finding their way. Next morning we went for coffee and ended up at Mc Cafe. Sarah and Lisa convinced us that they would have good coffe and pastries. Steve admitted that it was the best cup of coffee he had had in New Zealand.
From Dunedin, we went up the east coast of NZ. Here was a stop at a beach with some oddly shaped rocks.
