In Them 'Thar Hills..

First day out in the caravan and we let her (Cara -Vanski) have her head! She decided to stay in a nice parking spot by an old historic pub. The view here is looking at distant mountains over a green valley!

Three Good Things:
1. Plenty of exercise packing the van
2. Sun and very little wind made the journey very pleasant
3. The apricots on the tree next to the van are not ripe - the good thing is that we will be going to a place where they are ripe!

Beautiful scenery

[judith deacon]

Stunning view and by an historic pub as well, what more could you ask for!

[Maggiemae]

@judithdeacon The historic pub has spiderwebs all over it, Judith! Could benefit with a steam clean! But a tremendous history with teams of horses that would pull up!

[Maggiemae]

@janemartin Its luxury camping, Jane - hot water, oven, TV, stereo, toilet - and yes, what more could you ask!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Those mountains were so far away but I used my zoom and a post to stabilise the camera!

[Valerie Chesney]

Love those beautiful mountains...enjoy your trip...

[gloria jones]

Fantastic layers, light

[katy]

I had forgotten Cara's name and was going to ask the other day but forgot to ask too! Gracious ould age is stealing so much from me!
spectacular picture of your surroundings

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn The last bit of her name - 'ski' is 'spending kids' inheritance' Katy!

[Kathleen]

Great shot - but I truly love the name of your caravan!! Go for it!

[Liana Bull]

Amazing lighting you have captured here. Your caravan escapades are so interesting. You are seeing and sharing so many hidden treasures in NZ. Makes me want to see more of NZ too. Enjoy 'ski'

[Jennifer]

wonderful scene and shot. Love the layers. You are so lucky

[Margo Sayer]

VML this shot; the layers are superb. Like even more the 'ski' term and am in full support of such an initiative.

[ChristineL]

I'm with you on ski holidays, as long as there's no skiing involved!

[Maggiemae]

@inthecloud5 Have to agree with you Christine - no broken bones for me!

[katy]

@maggiemae LOL! Love that!

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

What magical lighting. Beautiful.

[Suse♡]

Oh my gosh how extraordinarily! Those mountains almost look like mirages

[Pam Knowler]

Wow this is absolutely stunning !! I am so jealous of your trips in your caravan but so pleased you take us with you and show us these glorious views!! Fav!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Beautiful vista- the mountains look unreal.

[Delwyn Forsythe]

Beautiful shot. Hills look very dry. Where abouts is this?

[Maggiemae]

@delwynforsythe Its a place called Becks which is on the way from the east coast of the South Island in NZ to the Central Otago area.

[David]

Looks like she made a good choice!
