We are back in kaikoura for one night as a stop over before going to Wellington tomorrow, thus ending our South island voyage of discovery! Kaikoura actually looks different than it did last time we were here because there has been heavy snowfall on the mountains surrounding the town. It really is very nice!The South Island has been awesome. The scenery is incredible and never stops amazing me. Even though we have had a few days where nothing much has been going ...

It was filled with loads of weird illusions, that dont look so good in photos, but it managed to keep us entertained for 2 hours. We went luging today and have just got back.

I had a bit of trouble at Christchurch airport. Luckily I thought to declare a wooden mask I bought in Fiji at the last second, otherwise I could have been fined $2000 or sent to jail as it turned out that it was infested with bu...
