Day 347 (Sunday 16th November 08) Made the most of being in a campervan park and got all our washing done.Started to pour down with rain as we left. Drove up to Queenstown and went for a quick look to see if we could see one of the Lord of the Rings sites. Very wet and the clouds hidding the top of the mountains so decided we would come back later or tomorrow once it had cleared up. Parked up in one of the car parks once we had driven through Queenstown and play...

Day 346 (Saturday 15th November 08) Woke up to a great view of the lake. Once we were ready got on our way along the Milford Sound Road. Spectacular scenery all the way up. Saw a few cheeky Keas along the way in a couple of the viewpoint areas. Nearly there you then have to go through a long tunnel which Em wasn't too keen on! Luckily it was still sunny once we arrived and wasn't yet raining. There had been a weather warning put out for 140mm of rain over the Sa...

Day 345 (Friday 14th November 08) Very quiet night's sleep in the middle of nowhere. Headed onto Manapouri which had awesome scenery. Made some breakfast and sat by the lake enjoying the scenery. It was then onto Te Anau. On the way we passed another of the filming site for Lord of the Rings. Found some internet once we were in Te Anau to use Skype. Once we were finished we were very hungry so went and cooked up! Parked up down by the marina and were about to st...

Day 344 (Thursday 13th November 08) Not the greatest weather that we woke up to but went and studied for a while and had a nice hot shower. Em somehow managed to hurt her neck so couldn't move too well! Left and drove down to Slope Point which is the southern most point of the South Island. It was pouring with rain so Hump Puppy got covered in mud going on the unsealed roads! We then went onto Waipapa Point to look for the sealions. Walked along the beach and co...

Day 343 (Wednesday 12th November 08) Woke up with an amazing view over the river mouth. Had some breakfast and then went up to where the albatross live, the far point of the Otago Pennisula. The centre was closed but was expensive anyway so we just had a look around to see if we could see any flying around. Spotted a couple. Decided to go out to Allan beach as it said it was a good point for spotting the sealions. Drove as far as we could and then walked across ...
