Mount Cook, New Zealand
Parting shot of the great mountain.
Broadband connection in Lake Tekapo
Didn’t manage to get any kind of Broadband connection at the hotel (hermitage).
They had an internet café but it was all coin up machines. I couldn’t even plug my USB in.
Trolling
This meant a 40 minute, if enjoyable motorcycle ride to Lake Tekapo in the hope of better connections there.
Trolling the high street for 20 minutes turned up this place where the girl let me plug in.
Stress marks the spot
This is why I always go to the most expensive hotels. It saves the first two hours of every day fucking about looking for decent connection.
Anyway. X marks the spot.
Lake Pukaki
Here’s a shot of Lake Bukaki.
It’s at the base of mount cook.
Sounds like
This will explain why the region is so popular with the Japanese, they come here in numbers.

The Hermitage – New Zealand
Took a couple of meals while I was here.
First night I went Á la Cárte.
For starts had the pork belly with crest and caramelised whatever.
Mains were a Hare roasted with a roast onion and a little bit of fricassee.
Downed a glass of wine as well.
Second night.
Went with the buffet.
Excellent choice of starters.
Some good rib eye for mains.
I stuck to the lasagna. On chef’s recommendation.
