Franz Josef Glacier, pretty impressive really!

After another days travel (I wish that New Zealand did overnight buses) we finally arrived in Frans Josef in the late afternoon. The most important issue for Priya and I was how we should see the Glacier. Should we do a guided tour on the Glacier, a heli-hike on the Glacier or just see the...

We like Queenstown we just can't really afford it!

Queenstown is another lake-set town surrounded by mountains, the differance here is the plethora of extreme sports one can partake in during your stay. Now, the initial plan was to do a Bungy jump here, they have the largest in New Zealand or maybe a skydive. After a number of days in New...

Its a Fjord not a Sound - Duh! 28/02/2007

I(Tim) have to be honest and admit that I was a bit worried about Milford Sound. We both wanted to go there but did we want to stay at what is basically and literally the last stop in the road in South East NZ. The answer was in the end...yes. The guesthouse was lovely, in a setting which was...

On the Move

Before we arrived into Milford, we were lucky enough to get a scenic tour on the bus as we were travelling.....so just to share this with you, here is one of our favourite photos of the mirror lakes; amongst the stops we made at various pools, waterfalls, lakes, and Gertude's Saddle, a mountain...

Whale watching

After leaving Christchurch early doors we headed north up the coast to a small town called Kaikoura. The weather had changed from the warm clear blue skies from the previous day to low cloud and rubbish drizzle. Looks like the waterproof I bought yesterday will come in handy after...

Te Anau - A large lake in a beautiful area

After nearly a full days travel we arrived at another I-site office (a re-occuring theme throughout NZ) at 18.30 to a beautiful lakefront surrounded by mountains. A quick twenty minute walk to our guesthouse later, followed by the realisation that the shops were due to close soon followed a mad...
