Dear All,
As my last entry was more of an experiment, I'm going to expand on what I've been doing the last couple of weeks.
We've been driving all sort of mountain roads in the South Island and have been to Milford Sound where we went on a boat trip. Its like lots of penisulas coming out into the sea with waterfalls falling into the protected waters everywhere and were formed from ice thousands of years ago.
We then went to Wanaka, where we met up with Andy and Chris, good to see familiar faces. Wanaka was very beautiful and I did a walk along waterfall creek. We stopped off at a beach to make dinner before we went to the glaciers. Where we watched the sun set and skimmed stones and to our surprise saw a pod of dolphins, which must of heard our stones. Was very magical moment.
Next we went to Franz Josef, Fox glacier and Reflection lake. Very spectacular ice climbing and was very good fun and made some good friends. Also heard about the tsunami which didn't actually effect NZ.
Then we went to the Abel Tasman national park where we went
kayaking and then caught our ferry to the North Island.
We decided we didn't want pay for all of us on the ferry so hid Zoe under the bed, with some food and a good book. But not to Zoe's amusment, the vans floor was locked away so we couldnt' get Zoe out and she ended up under there for 5 hours, while Claire and I watched a disney marathon on the ferry!
All in all one of the best few weeks so far! We're now in Lake Taupo and Claire and Zoe are waiting to do their sky dive!
