We stayed in Te Anau for one night. Te Anau is a base for doing lots of treks and fiordland viewing activities like scenic flights and cruises. We were going to do a 4-day trek but we didn't really have time in our schedule to spend 4 days hiking. And we'd grown attached to our campervan and we didn't really want to part with it for that long. Anyway, we'd found something really cool to do instead: the Milford road. The Milford road is the road that runs north f...

After leaving Dunedin where I wrote my last email, we headed south along the southern scenic highway. It was nice scenery with rolling hills, beautiful coastline and lots and lots of sheep. more sheep than we've ever seen in our lives and I'm from wales and Katie's from yorkshire. Actually, Katie was complaining that it was looking too much like yorkshire and saying things like 'where is all the amazing scenery you always go on about'. Mind you, she's been spoilt...

Our campervan is brilliant. It's really good quality and we can only afford it because it is half price during the low season.

Inside the campervan we have a double bed which turns into two benches, 2 g...

Christchurch was so much like home. I even got the opportunity to have Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puddings! Plus Aidan found an Asian food court so he was perfectly happy too. Due to the change in weather we had to go shopping for winter! Aidan bought a new jumper from a cheapy shop that said 'Chick Magnet', I'm sure it will feature in many photos from now on! We picked up our camper in Christchurch, which we were so excited about although a little apprehensive ...

Aidan got his hair cut in Sydney. He's been growing it since we came away and now has a proper curly mullet. He decided it was time for a change. He got the craziest hair do, which the hairdresser thought was for fun and told him he could come back on Monday and get a proper one. Look at the photos. It was no joke. We went a bit snap happy when we got to see the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. One day we even ran there so we would get some good sunset photo...
