This is where I am staying tonight & have just had a wicked day here Whale watching. Went out for approx 3hrs on boat & saw 3 Sperm whales they were massive, the guide said between 17/20m. Was so amazing as all 3 dived down & I got some tail shots, also some seals were about in the water too. Just been to another point where the seals hangout so have lots of pics. Well best dash as I'm nominated cook tonight... god help them!!

All in all I spent 5 nights here, inc the 1st night I arrived in nz. I really liked it here & even think I could see myself living in a place just like it. Whilst here we visited the Antartic centre which was so much fun & a must for anyone else who visits here. We got to go on a Hagglund on some made up track, go in an antartic storm plus stand in front of a wind chill machine which I braved till it dropped to -21... I was sooooooooooo cold. The next day we just...

Also spent 2 nights here & again my luck was to be jinxed.... I had planned to spend a day skiing here & go white water rafting but that wasn't to be!! The ski runs were to open in a weeks time & there was enough peeps booked up to go rafting, so as u can imagine I was totally gutted again ha ha. We ended up speaning 1 of our days here driving to Milford sound where we had a 1 1/4hr cruise. Liam was in fits of laughter at me as I thought the reason for going ther...

Spent 2 nights here.... I came here so I could have a full day climbing the glacier which is supposed to be amazing. Anyhows went into the office with Liam & Eilish who I am travelling around with to book the climb when Eilish bless her mentioned my dodgy knees in front of the staff.... They wouldn't book me on the trip until I'd spoke to a guide who then refused to let me climb!! I was so gutted as was really looking forward to doing it but hey hoo worst things ...

Spent 1 night 1 day here & it was bloody freezing!!! Was a very little town where people mainly went for walks etc. Whilst there I climbed to the top of the Temple basin ski area then had a walk round the brayley spur area. I haven't seen Lorn of the rings but Eilish who I'm with has & got all excited as everywhere looks like parts out of the film!!
