November 13th Tuesday Moving onto Westport, but first we visited to the Nelson National Park which we were meant to go for a walk for a couple of hours. Unfortunately due to the bad weather conditions, we weren't prepared to walk in the rain so the plan was ditched. We watched the film on the coach to amuse us for a long journey again before arriving to the town of Westport where we have booked our adventures. We booked ourselves to do Quad Biking while the ...

Monday 12th Nov Got to get the coach at 7.15am, meaning 6am wake up call for us. We are experincing too many early mornings wake up!! We are looking forward to have a good lie in once we arrive to Australia. Boarded onto the Ferry for 8.45am departure to Picton in South Island. The crossing took 3 hours. Before going to Nelson, we stopped by in Picton for the wine tasting place to try a couple of wines. They weren't nice enough for us to purchase unfortunate...

Sunday 11th Nov As others were doing the White Water Rafting, we didnt have to leave early which meant that we can have more sleep but no later than 10am. We still got to check out from our room. While others were doing the rafting, we just chilled out by booking ourselves for the Sauna at 10.30am. We were in there for at least 45mins. Then we went onto the internet, updating the blog and photos. We were meant to leave at 1pm to go to Wellington but unfortunatel...

Saturday 10th Nov Finally, an extra hour sleep than usual before getting the coach to go to River Valley at 9:30am. When we woke up, we did struggle to get up because of the pains on our legs from yesterday's walk! Before going to River Valley, we went to Tongariro National Park (again!) but in different area. We thought to go for a walk for a short while but we gave up after half an hour and went back to the coach. It was supposed to be for two hours walk. Whi...

Friday 9th Nov 4.50am wake up call for the coach pick up at 5.40am! It was a hour journey to get to Tongariro National Park. Once we arrived, it was very windy and cold! Unfortunately for both of us, we aren't equipped for the cold weather!! So we had to hire the jacket and bought the gloves each to keep ourselves warm. We setted off hiking at about 7.30am. It was going to be a very long day as it would be 7-8 hours hiking. It was a gentle hiking to start with...
