Well hello again. . . . I did have my night out back in Queenstown and I think I shall leave it there. . . . It got a bit messy to say the least! I ended up going out at 5pm with Bridget and a friend after her 3 bungy jumps. . . . ! And well, stayed out from then. . . Emma came to meet us, then Olivier and Pete met us and we continued into the evening. . . . . Yeah, it all got a bit messy as I attacked the Jameson's whiskey. . . . ! Everyone left as they had work...

Hello again. . . . . Well I went to Wanaka, however before leaving Queenstown, I decided that I would go back for a last night out before hitting the west coast. . . . The same guys should be going out, so I thought why not. Had really nice time with them and they have made me feel really welcome, so another night shouldn't hurt and we should be celebrating, as Bridget is doing all 3 bungy jumps in one day?!? So Wanaka. . . . . I finally got there (slow leaving ...

Well, it's now snowing. . . . . ! Feel like I have seen all the seasons over the last week here. . ?! It's crazy. . . . . Anyway, I took a nice steady drive up to Queenstown, got myself a hostel and checked in. It is about a 10 minute walk into town and maybe 15 minutes back (uphill), still it's a really nice cozy place and very friendly. I didn't do much as I got there late, so made some food and got chatting to a Scottish couple. . . I ended up having some food...

Well, it's raining. . . . . A lot. . . . Now the Milford Sound gets on average 6 meters of rainfall each year. . . . Sometimes more. . . . . They have been known to get the same amount as the UK for a year in 24 hours, so not surprising that it is raining now. . . . Now then, you may think that this is a bad thing, well my friends, you will be mistaken, what you lack in overall views, etc (which I saw the other day anyway at Doubtful), you gain in spectacular wat...

Wow, wow, wow and wow. . . . . ! well, what can I say guys, other than WOW?!? I have just come back from an over night trip around the Doubtful Sounds on the south west fiord lands and well, it was awesome to say the least! However before I get in to telling you all about that, I should also fill you in from where I left off in Dunedin. . . . Yes, the Catlins! So, I left Dunedin and headed into the Catlins coastal territory, taking in many of the spots highlight...
