South Island 4

After camping a little north of Greymouth, I headed west via Arthur's Pass.




Took a two hour hike at lunchtime along some old railway tracks & into a field full of purple & yellow.


Then I came across this wonderful trail (click on any pic for larger view)...


...which lead to a cave.


Going Caving? Um. Sure.


This boy was peeing on the sign, so I asked him to take a picture of me.


(ran back to the car for my costume).


VERY cold waist/chest deep water for 2 hours, climbing UP underground waterfalls.


Goodbye cruel world ...& you three little criminals.


I accidentally wrote "more."


& was upstaged by some young grunts.


Trying to "paint" light into the cave w/my flashlight.


Especially deep water here. Had to put my camera away..


made it out the other side (this was one of those climb-UP-it waterfalls).


1/2 way there -- lots more blogging tomorrow night! Cheeeeeeers!
