So we've crossed back over to the north island. We spent a couple of nights in Blenheim in the top 10 which had S.H.1 and a train line running through it. We did a half day wine tour in the Malborough region- the first time michaels ever tried red wine (suprise, suprise he's not a fan- turns out he likes sweet white wine- the big girls blouse). We had a really nice crossing over the cook strait then drove up to Wanganui for the night. From there we went to Tokaa...

Sorry I've been very lazy and just uploaded photos and video so I am way behind with this. Will give a brief review of everthing we've done since the last blog. Franz Josef + Fox Glaciers: Saw both.

Technically the trip hasn't started yet as Michael isn't here but tonight I will be spending the night on a coach up to Auckland to meet him tomorrow morning. I leave at 21.55 and arrive at 06.50, then get a bus to the airport where we will pick up the camper van before spending 7+ hrs driving back down to Palmy. Everyone keep their fingers crossed we stay awake for the whole journey- some of the roads are quite narrow and twisty. For those who don't know I have...
