Kingston to RIverton NZ

On this crisp morning we drove south.

Here's the route (click here to view map if reading in email):

  

We stopped in Otautau (founded 1861, pop. about 800) to visit the resale shop and the farm store. 

There's only one good reason to buy a bag of crisps: because you read a story about the family producing them in Southland (in the south on NZ's South Island). Good enough for me...

 Destination: Riverton

 

After getting settled in our new campground, we took a pretty much vertical walk up to a lookout.

And had a snack as we gazed out onto the Foveux Strait.

Stewart Island/Rakiura in the background. I love being at the bottom of the world.

 You ate the whole bag?
