We got up and it wasn't too chilly so sorted some bits out online then got refreshed and grabbed breakfast before heading out. We stopped a little bit out of Wanaka and did a walk up to the highest peak in the area, which had spectacular views of Wanaka lake and town. The weather was so good we even needed to put suntan cream on. We then carried on our way towards Fox Glacier, stopping at a viewpoint for Lake Hawea.We arrived in Fox Glazier that evening, as it wa...

We got up early and then refused to leave the warmth of the car for nearly and hour. When we finally braved the cold we got refreshed and had breaky. We then got on the road and headed to Wanaka driving through the nice town of Arrowhead on the way. The road to Wanaka was a lovely twisty road through the mountains, panicked a bit every time we were going up hill as the petrol light kept coming on but we made it. When we made it we topped up with petrol then parke...

We arrived in Queenstown a couple hours later after driving through a few small towns, one of which we got to taste some Honey mmmmmm. We pa...

We quickly threw on some clothes which were freezing cold then dashed to the shower. Then the speed race was on, how quickly could I strip and g...

Monday 12th we arose, got refreshed, had breakfast then headed off to the seal colony on the peninsula. When we arrived at Seal Point we had a small walk to a viewing platform and got some stunning sights, but couldn't see any seals so soon were back in the car heading towards Dunedin Town. We parked up and had a wander around picking up some woolly hats, scarves, gloves and jumpers all for $16.50 (about £8.50) before we got on our way. After half an hour we got...
