Andy B's Story

Touring the South Island

An account of four memorable days in September 1997, spent touring the north end of the South Island in New Zealand. Reported by Andy Bytheway, who normally lives and works in the UK. Comments and questions by email are welcome. (All pictures were originally taken with an Olympus C-800L digital camera, and subsequently manipulated and abused - primarily to make them fit - using Paint Shop Pro.)
