Marlborough Sound is a stunning place at the North of the South Island. The Queen Charlotte track is a (quoting from The Beatles) long and winding road with stunning coastal views. Kean cyclists were huffing and puffing up and down the hills, whilst me and Oz just whipped past them in our awesome wagon. A lot easier!

We managed to take loads of photos, and the water wasn't just blue, but turquoise. It looked truely stunning, espcially with the sounds in the distance.

As it is turning into Summer, we thought we would save some money and camp for the night. The farm we stayed on was very friendly, with welcome muffins (that pretty much sold it for us).

The night was freezing...........we had about 16 layers on each. Camping was a bad idea!!

The next day, we carred on for a drive around the Sounds, and stopped for a picnic by the beach, before heading off for Nelson Lakes.
