Because our bus didn't leave until 1pm, we spent our last hours in Dunedin well. Having breakfast and watching a few episodes of friends! The walk back to the bus station was easier, because we knew where we were going this time. The bus ride was pretty uneventful, it was quite a long one, 6 hours. We arrived in Christchurch at 7pm and walked to our hostel this time (we have a map). Didn't take too long, about 20min. We had some cereal before heading to our fre...

Today we arrived in Dunedin, took a few hours by bud, but not too bad. It took a while for us to find our hostel, rubbish directions as usual. But we did eventually find it and check in. We left our bags in our room, had some noodles, then headed into the city. We saw lots of nice buildings, churches and some monuments. One of the coolest things we saw (an tried) was the whispering dish outside the university. Two massive metal discs facing each other, 15m ap...

Today we headed for Milford sound, a nearly 6 hour journey. We did have a few photograph stops along the way and a chance to do a couple of short walks. The mountains are beautiful, but the bus ride was a bit boring. We got on our mini cruise of Milford Sound, which was really nice. The captain took us really close to some waterfalls and some cute seals! After our bus took us to Te Anau where we're staying for the night. A quaint little town by a lake. Not much...

The burgers yesterday were nice and also HUGE, didn't need chips (pommes) with them or anything. We sat and ate the by the harbour, listening to piano music and enjoying the peace. Today we slept in, then had a look around town. We ate breakfast by a little stream in the middle of town and went for a walk around Queenstown gardens. After lunch we walked back into town for some ice cream! As we walked back to the hostel, we started to discuss the books we were ...

Bleugh! A long day of travelling today, but at least the scenery was beautiful. We were on the bus from 8am-4.30pm, with a couple of stops to stretch our legs along the way. So we were pretty grateful when we finally arrived in Queenstown! Because we'd missed the Maori Haka (war dance) in Rotoura, we decided to see one today. The theatre where you can see it is on top of a mountain. We took a gondola (lift) up to the top. The views of Queenstown and the surround...
