Hello
Where in Nelson now nearly off to the north island.
 Started our journey in our wicked van in Christchurch where we went down through to lake Ohau and lake Middleton and camped there the first night. Was quite cold at nigth so it was handy we had plenty of blankets and our hot water bottles.
 The next day we went through to Wanaka to The mazes at puzzle world. The maze took us about an hour to complete, they say it can take up to an hour and a half during which you can walk up to 5km. Then we headed over the haast to the west coast and camped by a lake.
 The next day we travelled to fox glacier and walked in to the face of the glacier, a giant blob of ice coming down the mountian. We had lunch in Hokitika then went greymouth and over the Lewis pass to Hanmer springs where we spent the evening relazing in the pools at the thermal resort.
 Then it was off to Kaikoura the following day to go diving. We went for two dives, the first was just off the beach in Kiakoura where I cought a crayfish for dinner and then we went for a second dive at the seal colony but there were no seals there to swim with.
 Next day it was off to nelson where along the way we seen plenty of seals along the coast just lazing in the sun on the rocks.Spent the rest of the day in Nelson driving round looking at sights there
Yesturday we went up into the Able Tasman national park and right up to farewell spit stopping at Takaka and feeding some tame eels. then came back through to Mapua to stay the night.
Off to picton today to catch the ferry to the north island
