New Zealand Jan 1-19, 2008: The Plants

Cyane here with an update on biking in New Zealand, the land of volcanic mountains, ferns, and clouds.


Alan shows biking form on the trip from Picton to Christchurch, South Island.
Lewis Pass is 912 meters.

Most of the native forest of New Zealand has been logged. See below left. The tree ferns and New Zealand flax have been introduced into the horticultural trade.

See other Jan 19 post to meet some of the people we've met on the road...
