Hello everybody, We are now in Twizel, the closest town to Mt Cook. The drive only took 1.5 hours so a short one for us. Once in Twizel we could see Mt Cook from here, remember it's still 60km's from Twizel so that gives you an idea of the scale of this mountain, but some cloud was rolling over so we decided after speaking to the experts to go the following day as the weather was going to be very clear with no cloud till mid afternoon. So we went up to...

Hello everyone, We are now in Wanaka. The drive up was good as always. Upon our arrival we came across a photo expo on the side of the road. It was around 150 photos all 4ft in size and taken from the air. It was really, really good. Also had loads of facts and figures about our planet and what we can do to try and help in some way. It took well over an hour to go through all of them. We went to Puzzling World which was very funny. One section had 4 rooms....

We had a look around the town and did a lot of walking. We decided not t...

Hello peps, Well we are in Invercargill. On the way down we went to Porpoise Bay but didn't see any dolphins, just are luck! Then move on to Curio Bay which has a fossilised forest which was created here 180million years ago. You can see fossilised tree stumps and logs. Really cool to see especially seeing as they're all millions and millions of years old. You just can't get your head around it. We only took one photo though as we were getting atta...
