Day 28 Was planning on a lie-in but the sun heating up the van woke me (louise) up. I made coffee and we prepared for a day at the International Antarctic Centre. After a shower and tidy up... Shorts on!!! We proceeded to unhook Bruce and ride to our adventure. We paid our entry minus the 10$ discount voucher we had and was immersed into Antarctic snow blizzards and storms, withstanding -18 in the storm room and facts about the history of exploration with Scott ...

Day 27 A free night overlooking the coast in Timaru was greeted by another lovely sunny day and the 200Km drive to our final destination in NZ, Christchurch. But not before a quick detour to Caroline's Bay to say a final farewell to Percy and Co!!! An easy, flat, straight and somewhat boring drive on State-highway 1 to Christchurch took a few hours (remember we were used to a 'wow factor' view at every turn!) arriving at our final Top 10 holiday park to enable u...

We arrive at the Moeraki boulders and take a short walk along the beach to look and photograph them. The Moeraki boulders are large rocks in perfect sphere shapes, t...

Now today has got to have been one of the most surreal and craziest days we have encountered yet on our travels......we are packed, the sun is shining and we unplug ready to start the final leg of this adventure towards Chrischurch. Today's final destination is to be the The moeriki boulders on the east coast, well we thought it would be. For various reasons we didn't make it....firstly the day started traumatically, as as we were leaving Queenstown 2 little dogs...
