Dunedin is the university city of the South island, it had quite a good feel to it even though it was the school holidays still. We stayed here two nights had a good wander around putting up ad's for our car as went. Our flights were already booked to go back to Australia on the 4th February so we only had a short amount of time to sell the car and if someone in Dunedin wanted it then we'd be more than happy to sell it here and bus our way back to Christchurch. ...

We dragged ourselves away from Queenstown heading to Invervcargil which is the furthest southern town of the south island and during this time our stretch of good luck with regards to weather finally ceased.

The total trip including the walk on the glacier took 4hrs, it was Steve's first time in a helicopter and what better place than here! From the launch pad you could just about see the glacier rising up in between the mountain peaks. We were so lucky with the weather too (I know I mention the weather a lot but it makes a hell of a difference seen as almost everything that you do in New Zeala...
