Since last entry been hopping on and off the kiwi bus various times.....Now in the South Island, which is absolutely beautiful, vast countryside, snow capped mountains, numerous waterfalls and lakes etc etc..... Since Wellington we've crossed the cook strait on the ferry taking us to Picton and Nelson, where we climbed to the centre of new zealand-sounds impressive doesn't it! Only staying there one night we headed over to Westport visiting the Cape Foulwind seal colony, rugged beach walks & Punakaiki Pancake Rocks & Blowholes.We stayed at the legendary Mahinapua Hotel known as the “Poo Pub” (a traditional West Coast Pub).Les the owner was one character that's for sure- had a really good time there though-with a group BBQ followed by a POOL PARTY-v. funny and alcohol induced night!PHOTO'S TO FOLLOW SOON I PROMISE!! Other things we've been upto is spending 2 nights in franz josef-amazing views!! I did the best thing ever here-ifinally got to do my sckydive!!!!!!!!wahoo!!!! it was absolutely amazing-i'm STILL on such a high from it-and wanna do it again! i got bloody fantastic views of the moutains, glaciers, lakes etc and exited the plane level with one of the largest mountains, mt cook!!!AMAZING!!!!!!! following day we did a 6 hour glacier hike-which again well worth it-we got to squeeze through crevenses in the ice etc etc. exhausting day and was glad to put my flip flops back on and take off those heavy ice boots. Hmmm....oo got up to early and went to take a a look at lake matheson (the mirror lake)-althou not the clearest of days, but got some good piccies. Now in Wanaka which appaears to be a nice little town-staying in a really nice hotel, ensuite room with wait for it a TV!!!!!hahaha!!!!know it sounds wrong but we've not had a tv in our room since we've been travelling so this is abit of a luxury/novelty to us.
