Night stop in Hamner Springs: 02.july.2004

I m driving night from Kaikoura to the Franz Josef Glacier. But on the road I decide to stop to Hamner Springs. There I enjoy the hot pools at night under the moon light.
There are very few peoples. Good so.

The night pass, I m realy freezing impossible to play any guitar. I rool myself into all the clothe I find, take 2 layers of socks, put my pull overs, my gloves and my hut. Then my sleeping bag and the sleeping sheets from the van. Then .
Next morning I wake up. I can t see anything out the window. The first time it happend: everything is frozen.
I can t sleep so I get out of the car and enjoy the sunrise. I even don t get a breakfast...realy to cold...I will take it later....when the car is good warm. Grrrr. I hate cold , but well without it, the nice cristal on the leaves on the above picture will never had formed ...
