The drive from Hokitika to Christchurch was another 4 hour-ish drive, and as Justins leg was hurting him so much because of the glacier walk the day before, I had to do all the driving myself. We left quite early in the morning as soon as we were up and set off. The route we chose took us straight through the island back to Christchurch, and through a place called Arthur's Pass. I personally think this is the best drive we have done so far as views go and I reall...

The drive from Te Anau to Queenstown took about 3 hours, and we left first thing in the morning so we could get there as soon as possible. The drive was really nice, especially when we were nearer the town and we drove around the edges of Lake Wakatipu. When we arrived in Queenstown in the early afternoon we went straight to a camp site to check in.
