Rocks that look like pancakes

We had a few things to do in Greymouth in the morning and early afternoon, and then headed up the coast and took a nice walk to see a seal colony. After this we headed a bit further to Pancake rocks, which are a strange layered rock formation. We then headed inland...

Relaxing day

At about 10:30am we reluctantly woke up sleeping a lot longer than intended and the only thing we could face doing was to drive and find a campsite with a TV room or something similar where we could just sit and relax on sofas all day. Luckily being in a town we easily found this, and that was...

Franz Josef Glacier!!

Today was certainly a memorable day for 2 reasons. 1 Franz Josef Glacier and 2 for mosquitoes… We woke up this morning in our little campsite to see the sun trying its hardest to break through the clouds, so seeing this as a perfect opportunity to climb a glacier we drove straight to the...

Fox Glacier...

We drove to Fox Glacier in the rain and gloom, and went for a coffee and to get some info, hoping the weather would clear. It didn’t and we found that the access to the Glacier was limited due to a car size rock falling onto the main access road. We decided to go for a walk on the other...

Monro Beach and a vicious eel

After leaving the campsite we headed to Monro Beach to try and see more penguins. After a nice walk to the beach, we sat back and waited in the lovely sunshine. Unfortunately no penguins appeared but it was a nice walk and we did get the chance to see an Albatross. After this we...

Fiordland Crested Penguins!

Woke up with the sun blasting through our windows so we were lucky to be blessed with a great day to hit the west coast. So after leaving Wanaka we drove to Haast and then south a little to Jackson’s Bay where we went to Cray Pot Café which is a cross between a rail carriage and a barge which...

Last time in Queenstown, for real this time

We finally left Ron and Mel’s House today to continue exploring the south Island. It was hard to leave as we have had such an amazing time here! So after sad goodbyes we headed back to Queenstown and this time for the final time to pick up and drop off a couple of things at Justine’s...

Another day in Kurow

After planning to leave Ron and Mel’s today, we finally succumbed and stayed with the promise of Chris’ cooking and another day for me to play with little Max, something pretty difficult to resist!

An awesome but knackering walk

Today we all went on a walk to the Benmore Peninsula Track. It took about an 1 ½ hours and to say it was easy would be a lie! Nevertheless it was a fantastic walk with amazing views but it is safe to say we were exhausted afterwards! But the hot tub was a nice reward after...

To Oamaru

We took a drive to Oamaru today which is Ron and Melissa’s closest town to get their shopping a good hour and a bit away. Chris and I took a nice walk around the town whilst they went about their jobs for the day. We first went to the visitor centre where we watched a video on the history of...
