Staying with our trip to New Zealand a few weeks ago, from our stop over in Christchurch we took a drive in to the southern alps specifically to Arthur's Pass which is the highest pass through the southern alps. It was a couple of hours or so out of Christchurch and particularly once we neared the mountains it was very picturesque. We stopped briefly at Castle Hill on the way through, catching a rainbow from a down pour moments earlier and then headed to Arthur's Pass village. The village is primarily a base for walking and we headed off to the Devi's Punchbowl waterfalls which were very impressive but throwing spray all over making picture taking very difficult.
We stopped for a bite to eat in the cafe at Arthur's Pass store and then headed on a little further to admire the views and road building but with no alternative route we then did an about turn and headed back the way we came to Christchurch. Here is some of what we saw:
