I think i was in Queenstown when i last wrote. From there i took a 4 day bus journey to visit all the southern parts of the south island, which returned me back to Queenstown so i'm back here again now. I've been travelling on the magic bus so far but spent the last four days on the Kiwi experience bus, which is generally for younger travellers. I was trying to be young and cool but being the oldest on the bus i earnt the nickname 'Grandma'. Cheeky young sods, they should respect their elders.

First stop was Dunedin, which isn't home to much except the world's steepest street and the cadbury's factory, where they had a huge chocolate waterfall. Went to a gypsy caravan on the way full of wierd and wonderfull things made out of what i would consider junk. Was pretty cool though.

The next day we went on to Invercargill, stopping to see some sea lions and waterfalls on the way.

The following day we went to a farm where we fed the lambs and saw some sheep being shawn. Stopped at a beach later before reaching Te Anau. That evening everyone off the bus had a bbq and beers together.

On the last day we went on a cruise of milford sounds, which was really beautiful. We also visited the mirror lakes, which unsurprisingly, were like mirrors and reflected everything.

Back in Queenstown last night and everyone off the bus went out to the bars here. Had a quiet day today in Queenstown. I'm heading North tomorrow, slowly making my way up to Christchurch.

Will update again before I leave New Zealand to head back to Australia.
