We hiked up the Otira Valley in Arthur's Pass National Park to look at alpine vegetation. It was a foggy, then a rainy, day.
We frolicked through the tussock fields until it really got cold
You don't need to filter most of the water in New Zealand because there's no giardia here.
We went and talked to a biologist who runs a 4 star nature tourism hotel in Craigieburn, and he let us hold his sheep.
There was a bit of unrest in the ranks because we stayed a five minute drive from some of the world's best bouldering but didn't have time to go.
