My alarm went off at 6.30am, I felt knackered! We tried to dress inside in Campervan and climb awkwardly over to the front drivers and passenger seats to avoid having to leave the car due to the horrendous about of sand flies. After I cocked my leg up over the high bar in between the bed in the back and the passenger seat, I flopped down the other side to find a man staring at me do so from outside of my window. I opened the door a smidge just to see what he want...

We spent the morning preparing for our move onwards. I had one last shower, and we made breakfast of beans and scrambled eggs on toast. We also needed to start thinking about booking our ferry from Picton to Wellington- the crossing from the South to the North Island. It was all a tad confusing regarding our Campervan online so we decided to go back to the tourist office before leaving. As check out was 11am, we walked back into Queenstown to the tourist office...

I woke around 8am, which was actually the lie in I needed! The shower facilities at Creekside campsite were very impressive and I made the most of the hot showers available.

We made breakfast of peanut butter and jam toast, something Matt loves and is slowly getting me into. We also put on our first ...

We woke up around 7.30am in order to get ready for our big climb. On making our way to the DOC site toilets, Matt realised our camping table had been stolen and the car next to us had gone.

We weren't going to let a small thing like that ruin our day so we got ready and headed to Franz Josef for our Ice Explorer tour. The weather didn't look too bad at that point bu...

I didn't sleep a wink all night as I was worried we were going to get a knock on the window from an angry Kiwi policeman, demanding 250 dollars from us. We set our alarms for 7.30am and made a swift exit from the street we were parked. I hate feeling as though I'm in trouble, Matt didn't worry a bit and slept like a baby! We really wanted to use the campsites showers as both of us were in dire need but the reception still wasn't open. We decided to make the mos...
