After a good nights sleep I wake to mum banging around in the kitchen. Eggs on toast she says? I'll give her eggs on toast. Over breakfast we decided to go for a drive up the coast towards Picton to see if we can find some bigger shops as we had 2 days to go and still had money to spend. The trip up was beautiful. The coast line was sharp, rugged and the surf was high on a black sand beach. With the mountains stretching beside us. The ocean was 3 tones of blue. W...

Ok so we up and left Hanmer Springs today.... Yepee. We were only 5 mins up the road and mum has got the camera hanging out the window. I drive very cautiously across a long narrow bridge over a deep gorge. When I get to the other side. What does she say? Turn around and we will do it again. She wants to take photos.

I was so comfortable. I reluctantly got out of my cozy bed and got r...

So when I got back from my massage there was no surprise when I found mum had shut all the ...

Hey again. I slept in until... Can you believe it 9:30am. My first sleep in since going away. We went to a animal farm that consisted of: alpacas, Lamas, sheep, horse, mountain goats, deer, ect. I played with a calf. It was really cute. Mum went around feeding all the animals when she went to feed the bull. It lowered it's horn at mum and tried to get her. She said 'well your not getting any then' and she walked away. It was really funny. After this we went to di...
