Up at the crack of dawn again today and on the road to Kaikora! We have a new driver called Diesel and he surfs which is pretty cool! After a 5 hour drive we arrive at the hostel and Diesel offers to take me surfing! So obviously I accept. First things first I need a wettie so its off to the hire store to get one! $15 dollars for the day which is pretty good value! Anyway we rock up at the surf and its not looking that great. We check a place called Meat Works w...

Finally leaving Queenstown we are heading North to Christchurch unfortunatley without Ian but i'm sure me Pete and Alex will cope just fine! Basically a full days drive arriving into Christchurch early evening! We crossed the Linidis Pass and into MacKenzie Country. The scenery was beautiful but nothing compared to when we finally arrived to Lake Pukaki! The lake was bright blue, fed from the glaciers. The views of Mount Cook were exceptional to say the least! W...

I started to gloat to Ian that if I did this skydive then I would have jumped out of a plane higher than he had! Needless to say he sig...

Leaving Lake Mahunapia we were on the road again, admitdly feeling a little rough heading towards Franz Josef home of the famous glacier but first we had a stop for breakfast at a place called the Bushmans Cafe. It was quite a strange little place to say the least. Firstly you could order a Possum Pie (why i'll never know) and secondly the guy that owned it was clearly crazy! Do you know why he was crazy, i'll tell ya! He used to catch deer using Helictopter. O...
