Hello to you all from Christchurch - our final destination in New Zealand! This will be my last entry, at one o'clock this afternoon we are flying to sunny Melbourne to begin the Australian leg of our tour - I'm very excited but definitely sad to be leaving NZ! We arrived in Christchurch on Friday afternoon, full of plans for a night out as it was Loz's last night. All seemed well with this plan, until we realised that everything (bars, shops, restaurants)...

We're now in Dunedin, over on the East Coast this time, having left Queenstown yesterday afternoon. It was quite a long drive, so we didn't get up to anything more exciting than a drawn-out game of Monopoly once we'd arrived! But today has been a great day, not least for all the chocolate......

But of course, as you tell b...

However when we got there, the owner of our hostel told us it always rains there anyway, so if you want to go on the glacier you just have to go! So we decided to brave it, and booked ourselves on the half day glacier experience. This involved a 2km walk to ...

Where can I start - it has been an action packed few days! I will try to remember everything we have crammed in, but it will be hard! We left Wellington on Saturday and flew to Christchurch. Sounds extravagant but it was actually cheaper (and loads quicker!) than getting the ferry and the bus. We stayed in Christchurch overnight, and after a quick browse around the market in the morning, set off for the airport again where we collected Nicola's boyfriend ...
