In Christchurch all I did was read! The sun was always shining so I did so outside which was nice but I needed a trip to Kaikoura. I hopped back on the Kiwi bus and met some nice people just starting out on their New Zealand adventure...gutted to be right at the end of mine! We arrived at Kaikoura quite late only having time to eat fish and chips at around 8pm. A few of us went down to the closest pub to watch Australia vs New Zealand on TV..now that's a proper g...

I'm here in Queenstown with my parents, they flew all the way from England to see me...and only after 5 months of me being away haha! We've done a lot in Queenstown but I couldn't have them leave New Zealand without seeing Milford Sound... We booked the Juicy bus and set off from the hotel. It takes about 4-5 hours to get there so it was an early rise to be picked up; difficult when your bed is so comfy haha! The journey down was along the same route as the Milf...

Still in Queenstown! I've had some more awesome days with friends from the bus; Sean and me racing on the luge, with Will heading up the mountain to see the whole of Queenstown from above, crazy golf, nights out, geek-sheek pub crawl, cinema, feeding the ducks, the ledge bungy, watching George, Ed and TinTin get tattoos of the Irish Harp, saving money on the gym by running and lifting rocks in the park with Will haha..cheap! But sadly one by one all my friends ha...

Back on the bottom bus from Invercargil we had to get up extremely early to meet the Milford Explorer- the bus that would take us to and from Milford Sound. The exchange was harmless and soon we were on our way to check out one of the wonders of New Zealand. I slept most of the way to be honest... We stopped off at a midway point to get something to eat and a toilet break. Nothing too exciting except an awesome pie shop; the pies were bursting with meat and actu...

Stuart Island! Sean and me caught the first ferry from Bluff (most Southern town) to get to Stuart Island. The ferry was quite expensive, alot more than the ferry from Wellington to South Island! I think it was near $180 return.. But anyway we had a plan and we were sticking to it. We set off early and leaving the calm port sea we got to the rough outer ocean. I felt like I was on a roller coaster, up, down, up, down, everyone was making the same "Whoa!" sound a...
