(DAY 9) Kia Ora! We woke up to a bitterly cold wind and hurried into the showers to warm ourselves up. We left the holiday camp with destination Wanaka in mind; we made quick stops at the bakery and Starbucks before we set off. We pulled up once we saw the 'Wanaka' sign and proceeded to take a number of silly photos while the locals drove past! Our next stop was 'Puzzling World' where we enjoyed a good hour getting lost in the maze before walking around the f...

(DAY 8) Kia Ora! After a late night trying to catch up on the blog we headed straight back to Global Gossip this morning as, thanks to Off Exploring, our site has been uploading the albums incorrectly. After a couple of hours of trying to right the wrongs, we decided to call it a day and head up to the much talked about Skyline Gondola. When we were buying our tickets we were given the option of going on the Luge - a three wheeled go cart on a concrete track,...

(DAY 7) Kia Ora! Once again we were greeted from sleep by the sound of rain! We headed straight to Reception so Kie could book his bungy.

We quickly got showered and dressed before heading into town where Kie checked in for his jump. Before long w...

(DAY 6) Kia Ora!

After a nice warm shower and a bowl of cereal, we started our two hour journey. The drive in the rain lived up to the expectations we'd been given as we were faced by multiple surging waterfalls with every corner we turned. When we arrived at Milford Sou...

(DAY 5) Kia Ora! Kie woke up early to speak to his Mum while Sophie snoozed and got the campervan ready for the day's journey. Once 'The Beast' was organised, Sophie went for a shower and waited for Kie to get his bum into gear! We set off at about half 9 and made our way to Pak'n'Save to get stocked up on food and petrol. It took approximately three hours to get from Dunedin to Te Anau and the journey was more enjoyable than the last because the scenery was ...
