We were still in Wanaka when we woke today. As we had changed our booking to one night, we had to get up and check out at an ungodly hour - 10am. We also didn't have any milk for breakfast, so we headed over to 'New World' to get some, but ended up at a cafe buying our breakfast. Not too good at this budget thing.. We sat outside eating our breakfast and drinking an amazing hot chocolate, and after that was done we really didn't want to move. I went into the tra...

The morning started by waking at 7.15am. I always seem to wake up before my alarm, and it's never enough time to go back asleep! So I stayed in bed until 7.30am, trying to wake up a bit so I don't look so dead in the kitchen for breakfast. We got up and got ready, and I really didn't feel like food, so I just cut up some apples and bananas and put them in a container to eat on the bus. Our taxi arrived at 8.30am on the dot and he told us a lot about the city! He ...

Oh boy! Today was very exhausting! First we were up at 8am to get brekkie and ready for the day ahead! Which was mainly horse-riding, after that we didn't know what we were doing. We had to be outside at 9am, as that's when the taxi was going to pick us up. We called the taxi company last night and booked for the morning, and when we gave him the address, he said it would probably be around $35, the most would be $40. For a 15-20min drive, ad between the two of u...

I almost got attacked by a seal today. But before I relive that horrifying moment, lets' go back to the beginning of the day! It started when we got up at 8am. We had to check out today, and we still hadn't finishing packing. We also had a big breakfast as we were doing the 3hr seal colony walk and wanted to be prepared. So after we finished all that, checked out and lugged our seemingly 100kg bags upstairs to store for the day, we set of at 9.35am to do some in...

It was just before my alarm went off at 5.45am. It was horrible having to try to get up that early, but I still managed too. It was also hard having to try to be quiet while we got ready. We got dressed and headed down to the kitchen to make some breakfast, which was boring toast with vegemite for me. We bought down our massive bag of groceries with us and repacked it all, trying to fit as much as we could into one bag to minimise the look of the desperate backpa...
