Just a short entry, as we havn't really dne much since I last wrote! We are now in the South Island and its amazing, the scenery is just spectacular and we have been lucky to have some good weather. I expect its like home- warm in the sun but still a bit chilly. Our last night in Wellington was spent with Jacalyn and Sue. They treated us to a yummy dinner. We travelled by boat the next mroning to Picton, and bus to Nelson. Its\s a cool place, pretty quiet. We did the Abel Tasmen National Park walk yesterday, about 5 hours walking through rainfrest, beaches and cliff faces!Quite cool, and not too challenging. Its St Patricks day today and everyone is really going all out to celebrate, should be a laugh...although we have a bus jurney to Greymouth tomorrow at 7am.....
