Fiordland National Park and onto Milford Sound

After our glow worm extravaganza and in light of the discussion with the Welsh lady in the shop that sold Possum goods, we called up and booked today’s Milford Sound trip.  Against Swansea-lady’s advice we decided that although yesterday’s 40-minute return catamaran trip was nice (for some more than others), the total of 9 hours [...]

Te Anau and the Glow-worm adventure

Having hoovered up most of the itinerary for the Catlins the day before, we only had a short stop left down South for the obligatory snaps at Slope point, New Zealand’s actual southernmost point.  The touristy Bluff is as false as it’s name suggests, being many metres to the North of Slope Point.
And so, back [...]

Four Penguins and a Funeral

Reality check…
We’d only been away for just over a fortnight; about 16 sun-ups and scarcely 4,749 episodes of Hollyoaks had gone by since we were soaked in Kennington.
Yet so easily had we adopted this life that I was already brushing aside the cobwebs of Heathrow; straining to recall the movements that led to the deserted [...]

Balclutha: Gateway to the Catlins?

I can kind of see the logic of calling Balclutha the ‘Gateway to the Catlins’.  It certainly isn’t part of the naturally beautiful Catlins reserve, but it is right next to them.   Kind of like calling Treorchy the gateway to the Brecons.  Seriously though, it’s grim – think of a Milton Keynes industrial estate wearing [...]

Highway 80: The Mysterious Disappearing Mountain

Unfortunately the steep drop in temperatures led to few photo ops on the way up to Mt. Cook.  Thick fog masked Lake Pukaki most of the way, clearing up with around 20kms of flood plains left to Mount Cook, fortunately we managed to capture a few snaps of Lake Pukaki’s astounding turquoise water.
The lake is [...]

On the road: Driving to Tekapo

Even though it wasn’t strictly on the way to Lake Tekapo, Sumner had been recommended to us as a pretty little town on the coast and it didn’t disappoint.  Although it was  cloudy, the sun was highlighting an eerie mist across the whole bay, it caught the light in such a unique way and gave [...]

Exploring Christchurch City

Having had a good night’s sleep in the Olympian beds we divvied up Somer’s fantastic tips for Christchurch, but where to start?  Dmitri’s for Souvlakis?  Dux De Lux for their fabled ginger beer?  Or check out the cathedral?
The hostel staff also booked trips, campers and travel for the inmates from the front desk so before [...]
