I only took 1 picture on the way down as I was keen to do as much of the trip in daylight as possible due to being unfamiliar with the roads and my night vision being a bit average.
This is Lake Pukaki near Tekapo, I opened the car window literally for 30 seconds to take this pic and got nailed by a bloody sand fly....that was the last time I opened the window for the entire trip

Got to Ryans late-ish around 10pm Thursday evening we stayed up till nearly midnight not sure which side of midnight we actually went to bed but it was late and we had an early start the next day.
We had allowed for 2 full days hunting on a neighbouring property with some very hilly tops with quite a few nice looking scrubby guts.
I have to say I owe Ryan a huge debt of gratitude for his organising of this, the access was good and there were plenty of animals around.
The hills in the far distance on the right is where we spent our time hunting not a great picture but only had phone camera with me.
