Day 342 (Tuesday 11th November 08) An early start as Em needed the toilet at about 5:30am. Since we were up decided to head straight on and got a good view of the sunrise. A nice drive along the coast and stopped at the Moeraki Boulders for a walk along the beach. Then up to Shag Point to see more yellow eyed penguins and lots of New Zealand Fur seals. Got very close to one that was sleeping and it woke up while we were there. Luckily it headed straight for the ...

Day 341 (Monday 10th November 08) Woke up to an amazing view as the weather had changed completely and was nice and sunny. The mountains looked awesome so once we had eaten our breakfast we drove back to the Mount Cook lookout by Lake Pukaki and saw what a different place it looked from the day before.

Made our way onto Mt Somers and then through Geraldine before heading out to the coast again and stopping for a look in Timaru. Popped into the tourist in...

Day 338 (Firday 7th November 08) Woke up to pouring rain, hope it clears up. A lot colder than what we had been used to as well! Had some breakfast, popped into the tourist information and had a look around Cathedral Square. Then went in search of a dentist as Em's tooth had chipped off again. After a while of looking around and going into a couple of places decided it could probably wait to be filled again until we got home as they both had said it should be ok...
