After being in NZ a month I met up with my parents and we traveled around the country in a camper van for a few weeks. Here are some shots of life on the road...
A glassy morning after a very windy night. We had this pond to ourselves with the Southern Alps in the distance.
Function stacking--salmon farm in the hydro-canal between two lakes
"Free Camping" they call it--setting up shop outside of designated camping areas. The farmer was more than obliging to let us stay on his land a stone's throw from the river.
Campfire trout dinner
Coffee never taste better than when camping
Yet another kind farmer letting us squat on his prime trout water--gotta love it.
Weka--these dinosaur-like flightless birds commonly peruse campsites looking for goodies.
One of the many swing-bridges
Kiwi orchard
Young fruit
Gold kiwis are the dank dank, I don't know why we don't have them in the States.
They grow heaps of hops but don't seem to put enough them in their beer.
Deer farms are super common.
Venison steaks and baked potatoes anyone?
Rush hour
Local crush--cheers!
Oregon love downunder?
Despite the clean, green and pure image NZ likes to exude to the rest of the world it throws some very nasty shit in its forest in the name of pest control. The use of the poison 1080 is banned in all other developed countries, NZ is quite fond of the stuff much to the dismay of some of its citizens.
