Hi,
I have had a quiet week compared with last week's bungy jumping action! I have been to Milford Sound, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Stewart Island and Dunedin!
Milford Sound was very pretty, although the eather wasn't the best. I think that the pictures would have been better if the weather was nicer and the mountains were reflecting in the water - oh well. We took a cruise out to the ocean, I really am over boat trips (I don't know what I am going to do in the Galapagos Islands when I am staying on a boat for 6 nights!).
It was very cold on Stewart Island. The ferry ride over was rough - and I felt sick! But I went on a really nice walk on the Island. I then fell asleep at about 3pm and didn't wake up until 9pm, when I got up had something to eat then went back to sleep. All in all perhaps I should have stayed on the mainland and saved my ferry fare!!
On the way to Dunedin we saw some fantastic wildlife. We got really close up to some sealions, which was very cool. I didn't realise that they almost have feet which they sort of walk on! And we saw a penguin coming out of the sea into its nest for the night. It was so cute the way it hopped along.
That night I went out for a proper roast dinner (I can't take anymore pasta!!!!). It was yummy!
In Dunedin we went along to the Cadbury factory for a tour. The place smelt fantastic!! Much better than most of the factories I have been in (I wish Cadbury's had a factory in Newcastle and was a client - just think of the free treats!!).
I am in Queenstown at the moment. I am going out for dinner with Kim and Carrie as it is our last night together on the same bus. I am heading up to the north island tommorow.
