Jack and Katrina's Place

From our campsite at Hamner it was over the Lewis pass to Nelson. Started the trip with a pie from the terrifc bakery in Hanmer. The storm that brought the sunset also brought heavy rain on the western side of the pass, but the road through the beech forest between the pass and Springs Junction was still beauthiful. Rain or shine it is one of the worlds great pieces of road, everyone should drive it once, and wonder what the world would be like if all roads could be lined with ancient trees . Sorry I was too busy driving to take a photo!

When we got to Nelson to saty with Ed & Lisa, the national model engineers convention was getting set up at the park. Here is Guy 'observing' the set up, and the next day enjoying one of the many live steam models.
