I had my lay in this morning but woke up feeling pretty groggy. I was quite pissed by the time I went to sleep last night! I sorted all my stuff, showered and checked out. I didn't want to leave this awesome place but I had places to go, people to see. Wanaka was on the agenda today so just a short hours drive which was nice for a change! I took a different route as opposed to the Crown Range, because a) it was steeper in that direction and b) I wanted to see thi...

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 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 sorted out the macaroni for dinner too before heading off to Jades mum and dads farm to do some work. Jade had to mark up which ones were dry or not producing enough milk to be culled in the next few days. Whilst she did that, I had t...

The alarm went off at 5.45am and thankfully, the past few months have got me quite accustomed to early starts so it wasn't too hard. 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...
