Delilah and I crossed over the Southern Alps for (likely) the final time on this trip; I'm bound for the North Island now, but with a few more stopovers before boarding the ferry. First is at Mt. Lyford where I am now (literally, typing this in the lodge in the picture), to see if I've forgotten how to snowboard or not. Folks tell me it's like riding a bike though, but we'll see tomorrow when I hit the slopes. After Lyford it'll be on to Kaikoura, then to Blenheim to visit Robert and Peter, then to see the Marlborough Sounds. Finally going to the North Island like this, it feels like I'm going to another country... All the South Islanders are telling me I am!
