hi everyone! ok so last time i talked to you we were hoping on still be able to go up on the glacier. good news is the next day dawned beautiful and we woke to the sound of helicopters flying all over the place so we were able to do our heli hike which was absolutely brilliant. a scenic helicopter flight to about a 1/3 the way up the glacier then we hiked around for about 2.5 hrs and we crawled thru and ice cave and everything it was great. got sunburnt tho :( (btw no photos atm coz of way net is set up i think it would blow my upload quota or whatever so at the very least will upload when i get home). so we went up the glacier and down again then had a big drive to queenstown arriving at 8pm or something. had a nice place to stay at blue peaks lodge (got a separate room which was good) the following day our parties went separate ways with mum, dad and i going on a cruise on the tss earnslaw and old steamer across lake wakatipu to walter peak farm and doing a farm tour with morning tea. was very good all of it. and even got to see some filming of nz next top model which was ment to be secretly taking place. we saw sheep rounded up and shawn and also visited the baby animals. was very good. then back on the steamer to head back across the lake. meanwhile ann, phil and m went on a jetboat then watched some bungy jumping i think. mum n dad went for a drive to arrowtown and old mining village and i stayed back at the hotel and slept. been getting so tired fromthe constant travelling i think. that night we went up the gondola and saw some good views was very prety. we also saw a mauri haka show at the top which was very good. today we drove down to te anau. and mum, dad and i went on a cruise across the lake to the glow worm caves which were fascinating.had a cruisy afternoon and good dinner and tomoz we head up to milford sound to go on a cruise which will hopefully be amazing. at this stage weather is forecast great so should be good. talk again soon. luv kt
