DAY 17 INVERCARGILL- TWIZEL

The day started with a triop to the local hardware to ceck out the original world's fastest Indian. The owner fo the store was afriend of Burt Monroe and has an excellant collection of all his bikes as well as many others. It was brilliant.

Allways interesting to see what previous visitors have written in the guest book hey Buzz?????

We then visited Bluff which is the southern most point you can drive to on the Sth Island. Yes buzz I know you can walk another 50 meters.

At Bluff there is a massive chain anchoring the island to the sea, so the sandfly's dont carry it away.

Ever heard od the Caitlans? nah me neither, but if I had of known how nice this area is, we would have spent more time here. We visited Curio Bay, where people were swimming with dolphins.

We came across this couple one of the loose gravel roads. he had enough and didnt want to go any further . Can't say I blame her, it was crap road.

And then this massive fog rolled in, it was an eery feeling rding through the thick fog.

The fog lifted by the time we got to papertowel, but there were heaps of Turkeys on the road. so we took it easy.

We headed inland from there and the change is scenery was amazing. At miller flat we coud'nt decidee what beer to have so took the lot.

It was oveer 30 degrees so we stopped for a swim in the Clutha river.

Came across some more paddock art.

Then over the beautiful Lindis pass to our overnight stop at Twizel and n I dont know how to prounouce it. Weather is looking good for a helicopter flight tomorrow....wooohooooo
