Hey everyone, we're back with another blog, but this time from the North Island. So much has been promised, rude people, great weather, beautiful landscapes & massive commercialization. Not everything you hear can be believed! February 8: This morning was so rushed, our washing hadn't dried & check out was at 10am. We also planned to catch the InterIslander Ferry over to Wellington on the North Island. First time in a capital city for a while now! We e...

January 29th So we got up fairly early and headed to the supermarket and stocked up on food and petrol for the trip to Milford Sound as there are no shops up there. So we set off - our first stop was Lake Mistletoe, this was a small glacial lake so we went for a walk around it.
