Trip to Southland of New Zealand IV

This will be my last post for my trip to Southland. first stop Invercargil, it's one of the southernmost towns in the world, nothing much to see and it's smaller than Dunedin. at night, there's not much you can do and it's not a good idea to go out because there would be lots of drunk people out there. After Invercargil, we went to Bluff, the place is sparsely populated but is renowned for their Bluff Oysters. Bluff Oysters are delicacy for the Kiwis and it taste good too...my friend Peter loves it so much that he wants to come back here for the festival in May. We also went to Te Anau, a tiny town to tramp and walk around, the lake over there is really nice and pretty. We lived in freestone backpackers, it's basically a hut without much stuff and I just experienced the life of the pioneers of American or NZ colonists.haha. too much to describe so I just stop here...and let the pictures do the talking.

incredibly beautiful lake in Te Anau.
