I've been in New Zealand for a week and half now and am aboslutely loving it. I met up with my friend Katie in Sydney a week before flying here. We had a fun filled week, visiting the zoo and seeing an Aussie Rules football game as well going to some of my favorite haunts.
We flew straight to Christchurch and collected our hire car/home (Spaceship)! After spending a night there we started to head south and get colder!! Sleeping in the car has been fine most nights but occasionally a bit chilly especially when we went to Lake Tekapo where it was minus 6 at night - thank goodness for the TV room in our camp site.
We have seen some fantastic scenery and been on some lovely walks. We also had the opportunity to see the rarest penguins in the world, the Yellow Eyed Penguin. There are only 3000 left and we saw 2!!
We are now in Queenstown and having a few days luxury staying in hostels again and enjoying 3 days skiing. It is great to be back on the slopes after missing the European ski season and I can still do it which is fab!
I will leave it here with a bit of news. I wont be coming home on the 9th August anymore as I have decided to stay in Sydney on a more long term basis. I have been offered a job at Russ Australia which I have taken.
I'll be back in the Uk next year some time so hopefully we'll be able to catch up then.
Love Gaelle xxx
