Queenstown We next stopped in Queenstown which we were expected to be like any other city but when we got there we were pleasantly suprised. Jammed packed with trendy bars and lovely shops (we could have spent a lot of money here) it had the feel of a cool ski resort. We loved it and decided that we must return during the ski season. On recommendation of some friends we checked out the famous 'Fergburger' and had possibly the best burger ever, Nick is still drea...

Te Anau-Milford Highway The drive back from Milford Sound was stunning. Amazing road winding through mountains, lakes, rivers, flowers, forests, cliffs, the Homer Tunnel (scarily dark cuts straight through a mountain) and fiordland. We managed to fit in the Chasm Walk, a trek to the top of Key Summit with great views of Lake Marion and an easy stroll to Mirror Lakes. Photos don't do it all justice, but have a look anyway. One more night in Te Anau then finally...

Milford Sounds This is an absolute 'Must-Do' activity in New Zealand, everyone says so. We weren't dissappointed, it was AMAZING. The Fiorlands are absolutely beutiful. Huge forested mountains that plunge into deep water, waterfalls and wildlife wherever you look. We just floated along on our boat and took it all in. Highlights were seeing (and taking lots of photos of) Mitre Peak, reaching the Tasman Sea, seeing a colony of Sealions and getting drenched on the...

Southern Scenic Route So, We did a quick stop in Dunedin to stock up on food supplies and of course a box of wine for those lonely evenings! Then it was on to the start of the Southern Scenic Route, a drive along the bottom of the South Island. We went to Nugget Point (and saw rare 'Yellow-Eyed Penguins' and different Seals/Sealions playing on the rocks), a brilliant Cheese Factory (bought some smelly brie - not good in the campervan!!), and ended up staying th...

New Zealand Wow, we're in New Zealand… and it's amazing just like everyone said it was. We spent the first days driving around in our campervan looking out of the windows and going, 'Wow, look at the view'. On our first day we picked up a few supplies and then headed out of Christchurch and into the Banks Peninsular. Very beautiful and a stunning scenic drive all the way. We camped out by the banks of a lake and made the first of many a feast cooked out of the...
