We were up and at em again this morning with an early start out of the campsite. We wanted to go to Puzzling World just outside of Wanaka. We parked up and waited for it to open by having coffee and some breakfast. It opened at 8.30am and we went straight in. This place tests you and your thinking on how things should be. For example it had a lot of magic eye kind of pictures and it had a whole room that was on a tilt. This made things happen like a ball rolling ...

I woke up really early so decided we could get up and go to see the sunrise at the Moeraki Boulders which was a few km down the road. We had breakfast and then got ready to go. Last night we parked in a harbour car park and couldn't see the harbour very well as it was so dark. This morning the sun has started to come up before we started to drive anywhere (here I go again) it was amazing. The bright red sky with the boats in the harbour was beautiful. We started ...

After a great night's sleep but yet another cold morning we were up nice and early. The sunrise over the beach from where we were parked was lovely. Our first job was to find a camping shop for some more toilet chemical, we ended up buying exactly the same stuff we used to buy for Red Rooster, this isn't the first time it's brought back memories! Once sorted we headed for the Otago Penninsula, first we went to Sandfly Bay in the hope of seeing sealions, seals and...

After warming up this morning after a very cold night compared to recent nights and an extremely wet start with so much rain pounding on the van we drove the rest of the Catlins drive. We reached Cathedral Cave which we were going to explore, unfortunately it was closed for winter. Next along the road was Lake Wilkie which we got out to have a look at, it was still raining a little so was probably more enjoyable when not raining. It was a nice walk but it was not...

After getting up this morning we decided to make use of the ok weather and the fact that it wasn't way too cold to be sat in the van, so we started planning. We have a rough idea where abouts we want to visit in the south island but we need to look into if we want to do any activities and we have no idea so far what we want to do on north island. After reading our books and searching on the internet we have a good idea that we will be crossing on the ferry from P...
