Knowing the spectacular scenery to come on the South Island,
I am trying to be conservative with what I would normally consider at the top of the scale. If I am using a rating scale
of 1 to 10 for scenery, then our trip this past week end had a couple of 8’s.
Our first stop was at the Putangirua Pinnacles where a part
of The Lord of the Rings was filmed. We had a steep, scenic, a little
scary climb to the lookout to see the pinnacles and after a less than expected
scary trip down, we continued on to view the Pinnacles close up. We were glad we
were wearing the recommended stout shoes as we walked on ankle turning rocks
and jumped across small streams. But, oh, what a reward!

Wow - that is just awesome! I can only imagine seeing it in person. It's one of those things words and photos really can't do justice to (but I am thankful for the words and photos anyway)!
