We got up all early and organised hoping to go down to the office and get on a walk this morning. When we went in at around 8.10am she said they were full this morning and this afternoon for walks but they have spaces for tomorrow morning. We said thanks and that we'd think about it and went back to the van thoroughly disappointed. We sat back in the van and had a think about what to do. Our plan had been that if we didn't get on the morning one and managed to ge...

We slept well last night and got up and off early, it had pretty much rained on and off all night. Sometimes the rain was extremely heavy with thunder and lightning. This was the weather we had all the way on the drive to Fox Glacier. Apart from the added extra strong wind and hailstones!

This morning the sun has started to come up before we started to drive anywhere (here I go again) it was amazing. The bright red sky with the boats in the harbour was beautiful. We started ...

After a great night's sleep but yet another cold morning we were up nice and early. The sunrise over the beach from where we were parked was lovely. Our first job was to find a camping shop for some more toilet chemical, we ended up buying exactly the same stuff we used to buy for Red Rooster, this isn't the first time it's brought back memories! Once sorted we headed for the Otago Penninsula, first we went to Sandfly Bay in the hope of seeing sealions, seals and...
