Hello!!! ok firstly i am so sorry fo rthe massive gap in my blog but have been busy little beas over here! i am now in Dunedin in teh south island of new zealand! the last time i wrote i bvelieve i was leaving the north from wellington! since then we have done masses!!! First of all we traveld up to Golden Bay stopping in some stunning little places! On the first morning we woke up freedom camping next to a lake and had a seal swimming about below us have an early morning swim and snack! so cute! The weather up there was stunning, blue blue skies and fresh air! this island is just as stunning as the North island but far more moutainous! bess sometimes struggels but if you new her youd know she never gives up!! :) In Golden bay we stayed in takaka a wicked littl etown. really artsy and teh locals were wicked! a really chilled atmospherem, somewhere i felt very at home! here we went salmone fishing!! we caught two lil blighters! elinore being a natural caought the first! where a very kind gentelman did the killing! however i caught the next and by this time he had scarpered! so me and my little block of wood were left to do the deed! and i did! poor little guy! but i have to say i wouldnt mess with me if i were a fish! we then got them smoaked and them were delicious! (if thats how you spell it!?) anywho we then headed south to Kaikoura. the most stunning drive down! before we arrived we came accross some very relaxed new zealand fur seals chilling out on th erocks at the side of the road! very smelly but very cute! in Kaikoura we went for a huge walk right to the peninsula where there were more seals!! liturally everywhere! teh next day feeling very fit after our awesome strole we went whale watching!!! on our trip we were agaion so lusky wioth the waether the sky and sea flowed into one another and the sun was so bright! a bit nippy but a stunner of a day!! however this wasnt our only luck! we saw FOUR sperm whales!!! teo of which we saw together which apparently is rare as they like to feed alone! for me this was probs a major highlight!! they are amazing creatures! so cool to see thenm doing their thing when they want where they want! bo bo to zoo's!!! (although ben folgel keep doing ya thing coz ya lovely!!) anywho, we then headed to hanmer springs which is further inland! here we went to the hot water springs at night where we went from baths at 35 degrees all the way up to 42degrees! it was steamy!!! and a refeshing change from our very cold eveings in bess! my poor lil toes!!oh so blue! anyways teh sky was awesome and here we met a lovely couple with thier little girl called sophie! theyv been traveling for ages and gave us a few tips! deffinately wanna do this kinda thing with my kiddiewinks!
anywho from here we went over to the west coast! stopping in greymouth ( the name gives it away!) then down to the glaciers! Starting at St Jospeh. again the scenery is just aweosme! and constanly crossing these little creeks! all of which are named! and the sun always seems to hit teh water perfectly! we spent the night here and did a couple of walks! really cool! on the second day after using the local bar for its warmth from the fire and wash rooms for the toilets, for teeth brushing and face washing! ( you gotta use what ya got in this game!) The next day we walked right up to the galcier which was stunning!
we then headed down to Fox Glacier where we stopped to have a peak and Mount Cook! pretty sick! one of 27 peaks. its a stunner of a view!
From the glacier country we headed down to wanaka! where our freind jack now lives! we had heard an awful lot abotu this town so we gave our selfs some time here! Bless his heart it was awesome! (he is very passionate in deed about this town!) here we wnet to teh cinema! i know this sounds silly when ur in new zealand but trust me this was cool! its a n old school cinema with sofas and hoem made cookies and ice creme at half tme! a lovely evening!

from Wanaka we went top queens townwhich was awesome! we spent the most time so far in this town! We went to the minus 5 bar whaich was very chilly but a cool thing to do! we also went to thw kewi sanctuary where we saw some of teh littl critters! so funny! such characters! soph bless her heart was over the moon at this encounter!
