Again, another early start, another scramble through my bag in a dark room and packing in the dark. Met the new driver, Vale, seems pretty nice even if he has got shorts and leggings on... Must be a New Zealand thing lol!!! On the bus were also some Irish girls that we'd met before in Picton and they seemed really nice. On the way to Lake Tekapo we stopped at another beautiful lake where if you're very lucky you can see Mount Cook, New Zealand's tallest mount...

Tim, Lucy, Alice and myself had all booked to go on a day trip to Milford sound today which would be our last day as a four! Sad times!! We got picked up at 620, which of course meant a very early start and of course this also meant the bus didn't turn up until 635: I mean who doesn't like standing in the cold at that time right?!? Lucy's friend Rachel was also joining us and after we picked everyone else up, it was a 4 hour drive to where we would get on our b...

If you want to ski, snowboard, skydive, bungee jump and just partayyyyyy then Queenstown is 'the' place to be!! Skydive try number two for Lucy .... And FAIL!!!

I'm just super relieved that I did mine in Taupo when I had the chance because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do...

Today is a trip to Wanaka... Where? ... Wanaka!!! Yeah I had no idea either!!

And today, was Lucy's day to skydive! Well it was until the weather got so crap that they cancelled it :( boo!!! So instead we decided to go to puzzling world... Well until we saw puzzling world which looked lik...

We met our new bus drivers this morning, Mark, who seems nice enough, then set off heading for Greymouth. Along the way we stopped at a seal lookout where we could see all little seal pups playing on the rocks which was really cute. We got to Greymouth and I'm not sure we really knew what to make of it, the place is tiny and there's really not a lot to do here. The only reason people really come is that the TransAlpine train that runs across the island ends in ...
