At this point I should mention the roads. It is interesting that most of the roads we have traveled are only two lanes. There are occasional sections on the left for slower cars so others can pass. But four lane roads are only near the city of Christchurch. At least that is what we see on the South Island. Also interesting, when you come to a bridge, most are only one lane, so you have to make sure there is no one coming the other way before starting to cross.
We continued on into the mountains. The day was cool, but still the sky was clear, and the sun kept us from being too cold. We did several walks at different places in the park. All not too strenuous, but exceedingly beautiful scenery of mountains, forests and waterfalls.
