Arthur's Pass

Yesterday we took a drive into the mountains, stopping at Arthur's Pass and walking some of the tracks around the village. We haven't managed to see as much of NZ as we'd like in the last few years but now that Finlay is in good health we can get out and enjoy what's on offer.

First we went on a short walk to a waterfall just off the road, then we took a longer walk up a hill on the edge of the village to the Devil's Punchbowl waterfall.
