28 November - 11 December

Franz Josef to Lake Moeraki

Robert on another one-lane bridge	Most motorists were pretty friendly (save for one impatient idiot behind us on a one-lane bridge)	Robert at Bruce Bay ("mind if I call you Bruce?") on the Tasman Sea	Liza enjoying her "flat white" (a no-foam latte, more or less) at the Salmon Farm & Café
Words to live by!	Lunch at the Salmon Farm	Lake Moeraki Wilderness Lodge	We opted for a "rest day" guided walk that took us to a secluded cove where we could see the crested penguins (see the birds page linked below for photos)
Robert and Liza on the beach	Robert and guide Michael	On the beach	Robert watching for the penguins' return
Walking up from the beach	English Foxglove (introduced, of course)	Giant Rimu tree	Tree ferns
Flowers on a fallen log	Crossing the stream	Rhododendrons	Liza at Monro Beach, Tasman Sea
Tree fuchsia - looks and acts like Gumbo Limbo (Bursera sp) in the neotropics	Found it interesting that all the ferns always had two leaves pointing "backwards"	Eel feeding time at Lake Moeraki
