Alarm went off at 6am today, so a little later than yesterday. I got ready an it was so nice just to pootle about in my own space! The coach picked me up at 6.45 and we headed out to Milford Sound. Definitely the right decision not to drive. I saw so much more than I would have if I was driving. Yes I was on my own but I didn't really care. It was a bit weird but others were on their own and I ended up talking to loads of other people. We stopped in Te Anau for b...

We were up early again this morning so Shane and Krish could see the cows and I went one last time, just because I could! 5.45 the alarm went off again. We went and watched the cows, the others had a go but I watched from afar this time as the cows don't like too many people near them. We then took both quad bikes and drove to the top of the farm for a good view over the whole place. Was pretty cool and so peaceful! Love this place. It was then time to move the c...

I allowed myself a cheeky little lay in this morning but was still up about 9am. I grabbed a shower and then helped Jade with making Shane and Krishmas room up as we were picking them up today and they were staying for the night.

We wrapped up warm and I put my overalls on as apparently cow s*** stains. We took our cups of tea down to the cow shed where the cows were already being milked. Jesus there was a lot of them! I had a go at putting the cups on their t*** to pump the milk out, which was a little bit weird. I felt where the milk went through the pipes...

We got up early this morning, not to do the cows as it was wet and miserable (plus Jock said the cows had s*** everywhere due to the bad weather and it wasn't a nice place to be this morning), but to get ready to go back to Christchurch for Jades orthodontist appointment. I was aware that I'd just come from here the day before but it was nice to spend time with Jade and also to see the route that I'd driven yesterday from the passenger seat. It's hard to take in ...
