G-Day!!!!
It's our second to last stop on this world trip and it's all rushing by us so fast! Where did January go?? We left Ross' Aunt and Uncle's place in the New year and set off for a road trip around the South Island of New Zealand, armed with our little tent and 'shoestring' car. We had been warned by the family that the weather would be cold so we should have been prepared when at night the temperature plummetted and we found ourselves layering up in as many clothes we could find!! A quick stop at the charity shop for thermals soon sorted that problem out and we found ourselves on a trip of a lifetime! It was just like something out of 'Lord of the Rings!' ;-) Huge snow-capped mountains every corner we turned. Needless to say I was snap-happy and took far too many photo's that I haven't even downloaded them all yet.
We hiked around Mount Cook, drove down as far as Fjordland and even hiked on a glacier (a definite hightlight of the trip for me) but mostly we just enjoyed finding beautiful little camp spots each night, often by the lakes and mountains and just saoking up New Zealand life, or soaking up a goon bag of wine??
After that trip and smelling pretty bad we were so thankful to arrive in hot sydney and stay with a lovely family friend there who let us relax at his and make the most of their shower!! Something we had been missing for a while!!
Now we are settled in Adelaide for a while, currently being spoilt by family here and soon to travel slightly out into the bush to work on a project. Believe it or not we're actually looking forward to doing some 'work' again - it's been a while!
