Scenes from the South Island - New Zealand
Welcome to our site
featuring travel photography from the South Island. These images
were captured during a 2 week bicycle tour in February of 2000.
The tour we chose was offered by Vermont Bicycle Tours and we had
the experience of a lifetime. We look forward to our next VBT
vacation.
We have provided direct links to different sections below.
However, the navigation buttons at the bottom of each page will
link you to the next section without having to come back to this
page. This page is best experienced with a broadband connection
such as cable, DSL, ASDL or satellite. There is no thumbnail
system as this page was designed to be distributed on CD to our
new friends we met on the tour. However, visitors are free to
enjoy the images as long as they can tolerate the large image
sizes.
We hope that you enjoy the images!

Their expertise, good
nature & patience made the trip the success that it was!

Hokitika on the west coast.
