After two days of patiently waiting, this evening during dinner we were briefly blessed with a truly stunning view of Aoraki's summit. Enjoy!

GREETINGS FROM GARRY AND ANDREW. WE'RE TWO AUSTRALIANS WITH A LIFE-LONG PASSION FOR TRAVEL. JOIN US AS WE SHARE OUR ADVENTURES AROUND THE WORLD AND HERE AT HOME.
About Me
- Swatch
- Andrew and Garry relocated to London from Sydney, Australia in 2005; before retracing their steps in 2011. For five years they called the London suburb of Swiss Cottage home. Andrew dedicates his life to roaming the globe, sometimes for pleasure, but usually for business. There's an ozone hole up there with his name on it. Garry manages the household's wireless network, transforming odd bits of wire and cable into the ultimate home office environment. His spare time is devoted to fulfilling the world’s need for educational charts and eco-friendly wooden toys.
