Heading across the South Island today from southwestern South Island to east coast Christchurch. Again, the ride was spectacular! Two lane roads, up and down the mountains, skirting along the lakes, very little traffic, crystal blue skies most of the time, a scattering of fair weather clouds, windows down, hair blowing in the wind....awesome kinda day! Here's a few pics from along the way, enjoy!

 Beautiful morning on the lake

 These roads are like ribbons, gently laid down over mountains and around the lakes.

 Sat by this lake for quite a while, just soaking up the beauty.
