South Island New Zealand

March 2017 Whilst travelling on the South Island of New Zealand we stopped to look for a few caches when time allowed. After a day of rain followed by constant heavy falls at night we  weren't expecting to be looking for any in Abel Tasman NP, but it cleared up nicely. Then at the glacier area it likewise was great weather, but in the 22 years since we last in New Zealand they have shrunk a huge distance. After a day of delightful walking to Roby Roy valley we had a short travel day and had time to search for some caches at Wanaka and Queenstown.  Both towns are trendy and noisy, but the thing that stunned us the most was the person with what looked like a pusher for kids, but was in fact for dogs and there was one in it. Doubtful Sound was amazing as was the efficiency of the travel operator especially given the mind boggling logistics of running it.  A day on the Kepler brought us past a number of caches which was a bonus. Great Scott! (Central Otago) Nice h
