Wednesday we went a tour to Milford Sounds. Probably the most spectacular views we have ever seen. The mountains ranges went like 3 Km up and a further 1 Km into the water on both sides. We will add the photos soon. We also saw 4 rare yellow crusted penguins. After this we headed back to Queenstown to have our last night with the rents. We went for a few cocktails then headed to the minus 5 bar, (very cold!) great fun tho. The next day we got the bus to Wanaka ...

Ok a real quick one and i will add more tomorrow. We went to see the penguins. Saw 2 Yello eyed penguins but from really far away. Apparently they are loosing feathers so mostly stay in the bushs to keep warm. We didn't see any Blue Penguins whci was a shame. They apparently walk around the town and are everywhere but not when we were there!!!! Came to Queenstown for 2 days and did the Luge and Gondula and played some amazing mini golf as it started to rain...

We bought hats and t- shirts and lost!!!! Oh well it was good fun and good atmosphere. Sunday got the f...

Lake Taupo was very nice. We were thinking about doing a Ski Dive while there but as soon as we got there it got really over cast and no jumps went ahead which was a shame but maybe quite a relief at same time!!!!! We hired some bikes and cycled to Huka Falls which was really nice- really clear water- running very fast. The cycle was really difficult- up & down a lot and quite uneven ground with a steep fall!!!!!! Bit scary. Didn't manage to cycle up many...
