Today we started by checking out of our hotel, loading the car and leaving Queenstown. We started to drive towards to Glenorchy, but we didn’t really get why everyone was telling us to go there? I think the low cloud was ruining the scenery, so we turned around and started to head to our end […]

Today we awake, feeling hungry from not eating much the previous day. We cook up a big breakfast to set us up for the day. We didn’t really need it as all we did was do some washing and watch tv. Not anything you need much energy for. We decided to go out for dinner […]

We wake up around mid-day, we feel very rough. We slowly gobble down some breakfast before heading back to the bungy shop. Once we get there we sort through our dvds and check that they all work. We then wonder aimlessly around the town centre before heading back to the hostel. I think this is […]

Today we yet again wake up freezing cold, but thankfully we are leaving the shrieking shack today! After we’ve packed up and had breakfast, we start our journey from Te Anau to Queenstown. We’re very excited to get there as Dan wants to get his bungee jumps over and done with before he chickens out. […]

This morning we had planned on getting up early and going to Milford Sound. However, it was so bloody cold we stayed in our warm bed cuddling to keep warm. So at ten o’clock, we head out to Milford Sound, I was secretly praying that there was no snow… I really could not be arsed […]

Today we left Dunedin and were heading towards Te Anau we decided to try and do as much of the coastal road as possible we stumbled across Tunnel Beach where there were some awesome waves, and you could hear them thumping in the sea it was impressive, to say the least. We headed down to […]

Today was very cold in fact it was freezing. We drove along the coast road and stopped off at Shag point and saw some penguins, they were in the distance, but they were still visible. We also saw some seals from very close, in fact, we could have got closer, but we did not dare […]

Today we leave Christchurch; we are heading south along the scenic route towards Otematata Where we had pre-booked nights stay. We stopped at Lake Tekapo for photos and a wee, and we then headed along the coast roads to Lake Pukaki for more photos and another wee. We also stopped and admired Mount Cook for […]

So we are nice and warm in our bed with a heated blanket, and Jane decides that we should trape around Christchurch I was somewhat unenthusiastic, but like a kid, I was persuaded with the bribe that we would feed the ducks. I was there like a rat up a drain pipe. We cross the […]

After discovering the QEII was a leisure centre (Jane being blonde) we decided to head to the Christchurch Gondola which is like a cable car up a hill. We get there and I thought it would be more fun to walk up as opposed to paying $40 for the pleasure of getting a lift. I […]
