On the second day Les was driving and after stalling old Ludwig the Campervan on about five occasions we left Hanmer Springs. It was a significantly cold night in the motorhome in Hanmer Springs, especially as we hadn't discovered little luxuries like the fan heater and the big air conditioner and heater on the ceiling. Hanmer Springs apparently had hot springs but we never dipped our toe, preferring instead the warm glow of one of the local pubs. I was pleasantly surprised to be offered my drinks in pint-sizes.

It was a hard job getting going in the morning and I was certainly kitted out in hat and scarf for the drive ahead. The morning was crisp and the scenery spectacular as we headed up Lewis Pass.
We drove over the mountains until we popped out the other side and ended up camping in Seal Colony near Westport (didn't see in seals).
