South through Maruia



We had to leave Nelson and get down to Christchurch through the mountains around Maruia and over the Lewis Pass. Here is Guy saying Goodbye to Uncle Edward and his 'baby' Pepe (the wonder dog, I wonder if it's a dog or a very small skunk)

Guy slept on the drive as far as Murchison, where he got distracted from his breast feeding by an elderly lady arriving on her Harley Sportster. (Bikes or Boobies? it's hard to know where to look sometimes)

From Murchison we had a lovely drive through the beech forests of the Shenadoah saddle, by which time Guy started to protest. Just as things were getting desperate we came across a lovely cafe at Maruia a few kms north of Springs Junction. There after a nice lunch, Guy found a rock to climb and a tyre to swing on, so we were all happy.
