Hey all me again...
So back to Stewart Island. Well after our first night of luxery we were moved to a holiday home or should i say the tin shed. The holday home was the worst place ive ever stayed in. One bathroom for 12 people brilliant a fire that didnt actually give out any heat and it was so cold that in the middle of the day you could see your breath.
Anyway after we all moaned for a few hours about how bad Lens place was we made the most of our time over the next few days and tried not to spend to much time in doors. We hired a car one of the days as weather wasnt to good, did loads of walks and visited Ulva Island which is a small island that is completley a bird santury. I even got us a brilliant discount for the guided tour for being a travel agent. It should have been $105 pp and we just paid $40pp. This is where you can see Kiwi birds but we werent lucky enough.
After are 4days on Stewart island we departed back to normality and the warmth. Thank god and headed to Dunedin. We try to spot some dolphins and pengins as we drive through the catlands but we dont see any but we do see a load of sealions on a beach and we get pretty close to them which was cool untill they started heading for us and we all ran off.
Only spent one night here as the main things to do out a beer tour and the cadbury factory i didnt do either as well i dont drink beer and im sure bham cadbury world is much better.
Next stop back to Queenstown. Got another 2 nights here. The first night some of us went Ice skating which was really good and funny thank god i didnt fall over. The next day was pretty chilled had a walk around the lake, played some mini golf i won! Then caught the Gondala up to the top of the moutain.
Next stop for me is Twizel/Mt cook. I say good bye to some of the girls ive been travelling with for the last few weeks although i will see one of them soon as we are both going to Fiji together. I get dropped off in a tiny place called Twizel then have to catch another bus 45 mins up to mt cook. I was only staying for 2nts here but after ive checked into the really nice hostel and been for a walk im loving the place and the amazing scenery. I know i keep saying every where is amazing but this place really takes your breath away so i decide to say 4nts. I do loads of walks and a half day boat trip to see the Tasman Glacier and the ice berg which was really cool. There is a 5star hotel here that Tbag sell so i do my travel agent thing as go in and talk to the manager and he shows me around. I was really oping for a free night but no such luck. Oh well.
I then leave the amazing Mt good and head only an hour down the road to Lake Tekapo. Not much to do here so i just do a walk up Mt John which takes up my afternoon only got one night here.
Now im finally in Christchurch. Got late this afternoon so havent done anything today. Tomorrow i will have a walk round and need to get a few things for my next stop which if i havent already mentioned is Fiji.. Finally soom sunshine again and will be nice not to be stuck on a bus instead i will be on a boat and really hope i dont get sea sick.. I have 9 nights there then off to Peth to se my Little bro and Emma.
Will update you all on Fiji when im in Perth. Hope everyone is ok talk to you all soon.Oh and i havent forgot about photos but i cant seem to get the bloody computors to up load them really sorry but you will have to wait till im in Perth now.
Love Michelle xxx
