I've got big balls

Start this first, then scroll:

Nice little walk to Ben Lomond summit above Queenstown:
4h30 walk / Peak: 1748m / Ascend: 1503m

Then SH85 to the east coast. There is no lakes, high peaks, rivers, but it is beautiful:

Finally, my big balls:

And finally, some rare yellow eyed penguins:

Other pictures on Picasa like always.

Dunedin

Some quick update since I left Wanaka.
I stayed 5 days in Queenstown to walk / do my laundry / eat a Fergburger / eat a Patagonia ice cream / buy some clothes.
Afterwards, I went east to Alexandra to give my phone number and infos in order for people to call me for grape harvest in April.
Then I took SH85 which is, in a one word: amazing, and continued till the coast to see a few yellow eyed penguins and the Moeraki boulders.
I am currently in Dunedin for a week because it seems my van will not pass the WOF. I have so much rust that it will cost me a couple thousand dollars ;(. This morning, I had something done on the brakes for a couple hundreds, ;( again. And I still have a tyre and and tail light to change. However, the engine seems fine, at least. :)
No pictures yet, but soon because I will have time when the van is at the garage.

February

I realized that I spent the whole month of February sleeping in my van.
Last night in a real bed was unbelievably good. It was hard to get out of there.
