First thing we walked along the beach again to see if we could see anymore sea lions, the grumpy big one was still snoozing but there were no others around. It was wet and windy and we were getting soaked so we didn't hang around! We set off from the site and continued along the southern scenic route making our first stop at nugget point. We went to look for penguins but it was the wrong time of day and the wind was getting stronger! We carried on along the coast...

We started the morning by being chased by goats! They followed us from the camper to the shower block and then one kept trying to get in to the showers!! We fed the sheep, goats and Lamas. Lamas are very amusing! We have changed our route now! We were heading back towards Queenstown but instead as we have extra time we are heading south! We set off in the direction of Invercargill which turned out to be much bigger than we expected. We drove through it to start...

We were up bright and early and set out on our way towards Milford Sound. Its a 240km round trip and a rather lovely one too! The initial part of the drive wasn't as impressive as we were expecting but once we passed Te Aanau it improved greatly! We made various stops along the way including at the mirror lakes and lake Gunn. The closer to Milford sound we got, the more WOW it got! The mountains were snow capped and there are beautiful rivers and 'creek's along t...

We now hate sandflies!! They are very very very persistent and nibble far too much!! We made a very quick exit from the campsite and set out towards Queenstown. We stopped a few miles down the road to kill all sandflies and remove them from the Newt! It took a while! We had such a lovely drive down. At every corner we were stopping to take pictures! The mountains, the snow capped ones, the crystal clear lakes and the blue skies were just incredible! We have neve...

We were up early as we had planned to do a glacier walk but after exploring the area we decided not to and to do our own walk instead..for free! We parked up and got our stuff together and set off. We stopped at a lookout called sentinal rock along the walk which gave us our first view of the glacier. From there we trekked/tramped down to the glacier face. It was a lovely walk across what was once the river bed, and along the current river. We kept spotting water...
