hi folks,Just arrived in wanaka, next to lake wanaka. It's all pretty peaceful here (so far). We started travelling at 7am this morning so im pretty tired. There was lots of scenery along the way and possibly the worst sandwich i have ever consumed IN MY LIFE! It was made on hard white bread (not my favourite) with a few grains of cheese and a few meagre vegetables and worst of all soggy ends - I HATE SOGGY BREAD - IT MAKES ME SICK!

Later in the afternoon we went hunting for fancy dress outfits for our party last night. T...

We stopped at nelson lakes national park (lake roraiti) for a bush walk and a picnic. It looked kind of like loch lomond but with less noise (see pic above)! From there we headed through the...

hi all! Here is what i have been up to the past few days......... I left christchurch on the 14th on the kiwi experience bus. Managed to forget my phone in the hostel so the driver drove back for it -we were only just out of the city so it wasn't too bad.

The australian girl and ...
