Very foolishly, we decided to walk up a hill. This hill was near Twizel and a lake called Ohau. Oh How is the pronounciation of the mountain named after the lake and the height was a mere 1522metres. The walk was supposed to take six hours up and down, but we took slightly longer having to stop for a bathe in a cooling stream on the way down. On the previous day we had stopped off for a piece of yummy cake and not so delicious hot chocolate at St John's Mountain near Lake Tekapo. This was even moreexpensive than the cafe at Crinan Basin on the Crinan Canal.
We were happily travelling at 100 kph along thge SH1 when suddenly we were confronted with a house in the middle of the road. Having mildly recovered from this shock, within one kilometre we came to a narrow bridge complete with roadworks. How did they do that? Later we heard on the news that a house had fallen off its lorry and blocked the road for some time(!) near Auckland. So happily it was not "our" house.
