A trip to Central Otago

This past Saturday, Dave took an outing to Central Otago to scope out a house that is being lent to him for a retreat for his international student group. The retreat will be held during mid semester break in two months. (Our second semester starts at the beginning of July, and mid semester break will be at the end of August.) It's finals right now for first semester (finals last three weeks!), and some of the students in his group wanted to come with him on the outing. Three of them are Malaysians who have hardly ever seen snow. Close to the town of Cromwell, they stopped at an overlook and saw this cool view of Lake Dunstan.


Below is the house they are borrowing, with the four students. Then the rest of the photos are views from the house. It's winter here, and I don't know what the yellow stuff on the bushes is in the last three photos. Perhaps it's yellow fall leaves.
