在碰到RangerJohn之前，我们还抱着幻想，以为可以象走Routeburn一样，从两头走Milfordtrack，从而避开有雪崩警告的地段。谁知Milford不像Routeburn，需要坐船才能到达track的入口。John说船票是含在走全程的票中，价格不便宜，如果我们只走两头，很不划算。我们只好放弃Milford，也为以后再来新西兰有了个好借口。虽然不能走Milfordtrack，MilfordSound是不能错过的。天公不作美，我们从Queen[阅读全文]

在早上checkout的时候，老板告诉我们去Wanaka路上几个值得一停的景点。开出来不久，看到路边一个牌子写着“SalmonFarm”。本来已开过了牌子，无奈谗虫被钩了出来，一打把，我们调头回去了。三文鱼农场的餐馆就建在鱼池边上。我们点了三文鱼刺身，三文鱼三明治，还有whitebait蛋饼三明治。好丰盛的早餐，吃得饱饱地，我们继续向Wanaka进发。 三文鱼刺身，三文鱼三明[阅读全文]

从GoldenBay出来，我们向西，再向南，一直要开到FoxGlacier。途中，我们在Punakaiki作了短暂地停留，看到了著名的Pancakerock。这里海边的礁石，象美国早餐的pancake一样，层层叠叠在一起，很是神奇。科学家到现在也不确定，这样的岩石是怎么形成的。天气不太好，加上我的小傻瓜相机功能有限，照不太出岩石的细节。涛的blog里有更多的照片。Pancakerock天气不好，涛在认真的调着相[阅读全文]

北岛去南岛的轮渡，大约需要3个小时。我抓紧时间，补写落下的blogs。涛则拎着相机，在轮渡里跑上跑下。下了轮渡，我们经过Nelson，赶往Takaka，在GoldenBay／AbelTasmanBay边上的小镇，我们会在那里过夜。开了不久，突然看见路边的牌子上写着“GreenMusselCapital”,我们才意识到这里盛产mussels。立刻我们的馋虫被钩了出来，决定美餐一顿再赶路。戴潜水镜的mussel看见食物，馋的[阅读全文]

当我们困呼呼在机场等去Auckland的飞机时，涛突然意识到他订旅馆时，忘了我们的飞机是Red-Eye，订了当晚的旅馆，而不是第二天的旅馆。想来想去，如果我们按原计划在Auckland住一晚，那后面的计划就都要往后推一天，太麻烦了。于是我们决定不在Auckland住，到达的当天下午赶往Matamata。凌晨到达Auckland后，我们拿了车，开到码头，准备去RangitotoIsland。码头上的大黑狗从去Rangitoto[阅读全文]
