Hellllooooooo..... Sorry for the lack of blogging yesterday. In a nut shell we were cream crackered - more on that later. So, we ended up going to the Olsen Hot Pools on Tuesday evening - complete and utter BLISS especially after the hard day of sun bathing, eating ice creams and gentle relaxation in the beautiful Queenstown. Its funny how a hot tub, in a garage (look at the photos - there were 6 garages lined up with pools in!) with some hot water in (glacial ...

Hello again everyone. As Nat has crashed out on the bed after a hard day of sunbathing, I figure its my turn to do the blog and photos? We hope youre enjoying reading our blog and looking at the pics as much as we are enjoying doing it. Well we left off yesterdays blog that I was choosing somewhere to eat, and I can honestly say I made a great choice of a lakeside restuarant called Prime. It had that name for a reason, great food, great location and not too bad...

Luckily the driver was NOT scary psycho Steve - we were assured he had headed back up north the previous day, and only does that particular run so we were unlikely to meet him again (Phew!). The journey was very scen...

Hello peeps :-) Today (Saturday?) has been focused all on the Franz Josef glacier. This morning we had to find brekkie as the accomodation http://www.pungagrove.co.nz/ we have is room only (BF was an extra $15 and consisted of bread and jam... expensive!) and being of good British Stock... we went to a pub. Nathan impresed Nat by ordering eggs benedict, Nat just stuck to boring bacon and eggs but she did stick her little finger out when drinking her tea to prove...
