22/04/09We were woken up to Dale shaking the camper and banging on the side as they said their goodbyes. We were supposed to have left before them, but it was freezing cold and I couldn't be arsed to get out of bed. I eventually got out of bed and parked the camper up just down the road from the Top10. We all walked in and showered. All the showers were in use so I ended up going in to an awesome single shower room with a sauna at the back and my own sink and toi...

20/04/09 Rich got up and flicked the nob on the grey water to let it drain out. He came back in to the van moaning about how rank it looked and smelled. We spent a little while getting together and by 9 we were back on the road heading back towards Queenstown. We pulled up at Te Anau so Rich could have piss number 2 of the morning, and while we waited Laura and I popped in to Fresh Choice to stock up on snack food, Laura had a craving for a Grapefruit for some r...

19/04/09I woke up when Rich's alarm went off at 6 and he drove us back in to Te Anau so he could use the net to find out the football scores. I laid in bed for ages, eventually getting up to go to the loo in the shop again. We shopped around Fresh Choice for a few bits for the next few days and then Rich drove us towards Milford Sound. I fell asleep on the way, I have no idea how because it was the bumpiest ride ever. When we arrived we walked over to the info si...

18/04/09I got back in to bed at around 5am and as I walked in to the camper the smell of whisky breath smacked me in the face. It was rank. Helen had used the camper toilet in the night, but it was already full so the pan filled up with blue liquid and sat there all night. When we got up we had a tidy up, filled up with water and then emptied the toilet and the grey water. The waste started trickling out again and I got fed up with it so I rammed the hose up and ...

13/04/09I woke up at 0530 and remembered I had promised I would phone home at 7pm home time. The clocks had now changed so I would now have to phone at 6am instead of 8, so I walked in to Hawea which was about a 2km walk. When I finally got there the phone turned out to be a card only phone so I jogged back and then drove back to Wanaka and phoned from the coin phone there. I had 7 Weet-Bix for brekkie along with a BLT sandwich 2 nut bars and a pancake. We all st...
