Invercargill

Heavy shower prevented us from skiing in Queenstown L Even seeing Treble Cone – the biggest ski field around Wanaka failed due to poor road and visibility – our Yaris simply couldn’t climb up this mud…

We swapped skiing for shooting in Wanaka’s “Have a shot”. It was surprisingly successful on 22 caliber – we both got 1200 points out of 1250, but Andriy was better in last recordable 20 shoots and even got to the hall of fame J Claybird shooting was not as good, and this time I won 7:6.

Late at night we arrived to Invercargill – my favorite name of the town J It was an excellent driving practice, sometimes a bit scary – darkness, winding roads, mountains, heavy rain… Awesome…

Next morning we quickly stopped at Bluff – the southern of point of the southern island. It’s 19K to London from there. Then we drove to NZAS for an excursion around aluminum plant.

As Michael said – some big toys and pretty serious shit that can easily explode, if you do it wrong… The plant is massive! Consumes 14% of New Zealand power and releases massive fraction of CO2 in return J Great fun to walk around and feel this massive production process, which I know nothing about, but it’s created by humans J
