Wednesday, February 6 - Driving from place to place

Our campsite on Lake Parlinga looked a lot like Canada 

It looks like a loon, but it's actually a cormorant.  
That day we drove along a wild coast looking over the Tasman Sea ...
... then found access to a long sandy beach strewn with driftwood
Turning inland we followed the Haast River up into the mountains
The western half of the South Island is covered with endless
 jagged mountain peaks ... 
... and many roadside waterfalls
We camped on the shore of Lake Wanaka.  Kristy set her tent
right on the beach
We ended the day listening to Kristy read The Hobbit
and skipping stones
