Lake Coleridge, South Island, New Zealand. Su Leslie, 2018
Our southern holiday is over. The rental car is returned, the bags checked in and we’re enjoying a last glass of wine in the Air NZ lounge. Back to reality tomorrow.
π Fabulous!!! We found it much busier with big tour groups than in the past — even in quite small places like Geraldine. But it is still a totally magical place.
Thanks Amanda. I do feel refreshed and inspired. I just have to keep that feeling going as I wade through all the day-to-day stuff (laundry basket I’m looking at you) that’s piled up.
Safe travels, we are on our way home from Tasmania

The whole week has been wonderful. Even constant rain in Dunedin couldnβt dent my enthusiasm for the Mainland. π

It is!! Even the REALLY noisy family with the whining kids and shouty mother (these two things are undoubtedly connected) couldnβt spoil it.

Soft colours in your beautiful landscape photo make the impression of a painting, Su! I like it very much.

Thanks Janet. The weather here is good today so at least I can see blue skies — even if they are not the huge skies of the South Island. π
