So we are back on the raod again after our second farmstay. First stop Te anau and milford sound....amust see in NZ. We were really impressed with Te Anau......we thought it may be a nothing town, just the gateway to milford but no. It has NZ second largest lake and all the major walks of NZ start here......Routeburn etc. As the weather forecast for the next few days was a bit dodgy we decided to take a bus tour that was equipped with snow chains instead of ...

SO as we enjoyed the last one so much we decided to do another farmstay. This one was on a dairy farm of about 200 cows. We stayed with a family, mummy helen, daddy micheal and anya and paul......all really lovely. Our main job was helping on the farm doing farm chores.....milking, hosing, fencing, dipping etc. All such fun and a great experience. Hard work though.....well compared too what we are used too. Pete did other things too around the farm like trac...

It didnt rain but there was loads of cloud cover so we didnt actually see Mt ...

We had heard good things about Christchurch and lou was quite impressed, me on the other hand wasnt. I wouldnt say i didnt like, i think was a case of building it up too be something well it just isnt. We saw the sights of the city as you do but the highlight was going too see a Super 14 semi final at the jade stadium between the crusaders and the bulls. Now it was my turn to be a kid! We were obviously cheering for the Crusaders being in NZ (the Bulls are ...
