The North Island

We spent our first day in Wellington just wandering, stopping off at the Te Papa Museum for a few hours & then we caught the cable car up to Wellington Botanic Gardens with its magnificent lookout over the City and harbour. But to be honest we thought it was a bit of a weird city? It wasn't as...

Seeing Ron, Mel and Max again

After breakfast we drove to Oamaru and then took the highway up to a tiny village, Kurow to meet up again with Ron, Mel and Max after spending time with them last week. Kurow is right in the heart of the south Island deep in the countryside and it is simply beautiful. We were really happy to...

Moeraki Boulders

Woke up to slightly better weather, so we did a few chores around Dunedin before heading North. We called Ron and Mel, friends we had met camping in Fiordland, and arranged to go and stay with them on Tuesday. They also told us a good donation campsite to stop at enroute. We made our way to...

Ice hockey

Such rubbish weather again today. Definitely does not feel like Summer at all. We left Kaka Point this morning and went to Dunedin. We found out that Aston was playing his final game of Ice Hockey in an international tournament, so we decided we would go see him, neither of us having seen...

Sealions, Seals and Penguins

Woke up at our nice campsite, packed up and headed off. We met our new friends at the next town, Owaka, and had a coffee before driving to Surat Bay in search of sea lions. We headed off along a track before reaching the beach, a short way along the beach the tide was very high and...

McLean falls

We left windy Curio Bay and headed further along the Catlins coast. We made a nice stop and walk at Mcleans falls and then to Niagara Falls before finally finding a really nice campsite for $6. After a few hours of laundry, we hung our nice clean clothes up just in time for the...

Yellow-eyed penguins

Woke up early and headed from our unknown driveway down to the sea for breakfast. After brekkie we headed towards Invercargill which was a medium city, so we passed through after refuelling. We did head down to Bluff, famous for its Oysters, but unfortunately they are not in season, Chris was...

Crazy night with a crazy local

Got up and ate trout and eggs for breakfast, left our friends and headed south for the coast. Found a nice spot by the sea at Colac Bay, and Chris went to collect mussels for dinner, then we went to the pub, got drinking with locals and it all went to shit. Ended up sleeping in someone’s...

Enjoying Lake Monowai

Chris got up and went fishing at 06.30am and his luck had obviously run out as he came back without anything but a sad face. So cereal it was for brekkie before going for a nice long walk broken up with a little more unsuccessful fishing. Went then made our way back to camp and made a big...

Return to Milford

Reluctantly left the safety and warmth of Hollyford and went to visit an old swing bridge over-looking a pretty River before going back to Milford due to the sun finally deciding to make an appearance! So we had the chance to see Milford with clear skies and snow on...
