The light rain that surprised us in the evening in Mount Cook did nothing but intensify during the following 2 days that we ended up spending in the car, driving close to 900km in lonely roads under the pouring rain.

Hardly had we driven for 100km from Haast in the morning that we found a huge trunk that prevented us to carry on !
Luckily for us, another car showed up within 5 minutes and they had a strap that we hooked up to the back of our car .... (again, we were happy to have a 4WD!)
And after several trials on either side of the trunk,
We made it !
During this trip, the variety of sceneries we saw was incredible. From west to east, the seashore fades into jungle which itself gives room for the mountains and huge plains, with barely any trees around...
So we rushed back to Methven, hoping that all the rain that we got would mean snow up in the ski fields....but we were wrong. Most of the ski fields were closed on the day after so we ended up in Christchurch for our last day.
We highly recommend the national museum (free or donation) if you find yourself in this british looking town that is actually one of the most important cities in the South Island !

i no era més fàcil intercanviar els cotxes i seguir cadascú per l'altra banda del tronc??? xd
Clar, very clever ! pero com es veu a la foto....estaven els dos cotxes del mateix costat del tronc ! XDD
nice... però va ser prou eficient! A Xina han tingut una cua de 10 dies de camions i cotxes per unes obres!! Crec que, almenys per les fotos, NZ s'acosta molt a la perfecció :P
