Pit stop time! So after a busy and energetic two weeks travelling the South Island I though a nice break was due in the wonderfully windy capital, Wellington! However my first night was not of rest. Instead we sampled the midweek nightlife to give the guys the leaving party they deserved. After returning in r early hours of the morning we then had to wake up for a 6.30 departure... But then I could go back to bed whilst the others had a 11 hour bus ride! The ...

Milford sound Deemed to be the most beautiful spot in the country we headed across to new Zealand's fiord land. The early morning was touch and go and the bus journey was loooooooooong! 6/7 hours down there due to many a photo stop. But to be fair, the views were amazing!

This was followed by dinner on the terrace and a few drinks in wanaka's quiet...

Abel Tasman So moving north up the South Island we make it around to the gorgeous national park of Abel Tasman. However when we arrived the rain was pouring down and the likely hood of doings hang glide were looking slim... The hostel was pretty cool with a open style kitchen where we had a huge BBQ the first night, a camp fire, pool table and stunning views of the forest. So day 1 was actually sunny so we hiked out into the park. The views of the beaches and...
