Argggggggggggghhh I'm actually at the point of giving up. I just wrote a whole blog for you guys and then managed to lose the whole thing just before I was going to post it. Therefore I have to say that writng out the whole thing again is not going to happen. So this being my final blog of the trip I thought I'd give you the highlights of what I've done over the past two weeks.

"Wanaka is awesome and I could really see myself staying here forever". Man these immortal words of fantasy almost turned into reality when I sudddenly realised that beautiful as it is, it's almost impossible to leave the place due to heavily booked out buses.
