Hello!
Been ages since i wrote on here and we have done lots since wanaka! won't try and tell all on here as it will take for ever but after there we had a week in Queens town, the we went on to te anua, milford sound which was stunning, tautepere where we did some sheep shearing! stewart island, omaru, dunedin,mt.cook, christchurch, akaroa, kaikoura and now back to picton. we have seen and done loads. a highlight was all th e wildlife we have seen. swiming with hector dolphins, getting very closed to a yellow eyed penguin, seeing sperm whales diving and albatross flying! we have also seen some nice snowy mountains which look fantastic. strolled through spots where the filmed Lord of the rings in arrowtown (having whatched the dvds the other day we could recoginse where we were!) the coastline has continued to be beautiful and the catlins which we passed through is very similar to a lot if the coast line in the uk. we can't quite believe all the places we have been to and all the things we have seen, we also managed to stary pretty lucky with the weather, as even when it was raining it turned out to be a bounas as we got to see amazing waterfalls on the milford sound which you don't see in the summer. it was quite cold at the bottom of the south island, and has got a bit walmer as we have come further up north which is nice, although i don't think the snow reaches up here which is a shame as other parts of the south island have it!
we are now in picton for one more week before we use stray to go to greymouth, where we will take the transalpine train to christchurch before heading off to sydney and then back to the north island.
Hope you like a selection of our south island pics!
