Mount Cook is the further South we will go, not enough time to go all the way to the Sounds at the bottom of the South Island. Work on the engine is progressing, we are getting weekly emails to keep us informed. We need to be back in Opua by the middle of the month so we can get ready. In the meantime, we are making the most of it. Such a beautiful country. Highlights, Akaroa and its French twist, Arthurs Pass even if the weather deteriorates at the top, the Nelson lakes and their reflections.
