So after heading into Milford Sound we had about 3 days to kill in Fjordland National Park. Ryan, per the norm, was feeling ill and looking for various excuses to either leave and cut his travels short or alternatively Posted by efstein in The Thing Speaks for Itself | Aug 1, 2009
- Banks Penninsula, Christchurch and goodbye New Zealand
After some long driving we ended up in Akaroa town. It is famous for its penguin trips and it is quite a lovely town. After walking around, getting some food and some cheese, we decided to drive further around. We Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | May 29, 2009
- Mt Cook
After camping by Lake Dunstan, we drove to Mt Cook. We took about 3-4 walk to the glacier. The views were amazing, but it was quite cloudy, so the pictures weren't coming out that great.
After the walk, we started driving Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | May 29, 2009
- Milford Sounds, New Zealand
In the morning we drove to Te Anau. We had some pies for breakfast, they were good, but I would prefer to have them for dinner and then probably not eat anything for a week. :)
We stocked up our fridge Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | May 29, 2009
- Queenstown, jet boating and lamb chops
After a freezing morning, we drove to Queenstown. The drive was absolutely amazing again and the whole town is set in amazing scenery as well. By the time we parked our van, we were saying that we could move there, Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | May 29, 2009
- Franz Joseph, Fox Glacier walk & Lake Wanaka
The next day we got up and went to see Franz Joseph glacier, which was nice, but it didn't compare to the Mereno glacier in Argentina.
We then went to Fox Glacier, booked a tour to go climb Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | May 23, 2009
- Arthur's Pass National Park and getting stuck in the mud
After our dolphin swim, we headed towards Arthur's Pass National Park. We were planning to do a walk, but it was pouring down outside. The forecast wasn't looking great as well, so we just kept driving through the whole pass, Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | May 23, 2009
- Kaikoura - camping with seals and swimming with dolphins
After our walk in Abel Tasman National Park we drove like crazy all the way to Kaikoura where we were planning to do a dolphin swim.
We were looking where to camp again and got over taken by this huge campervan Posted by RL in Around the world in 180 days | May 23, 2009
- Camping by the river and Abel Tasman National Park
We drove all the way to Nelson. It was nice, but we got lost around Nelson and then spent hours driving in the traffic trying to find a petrol station, foodstore and then our way out of town.

- Wellington and the ferry story
After wine tasting we drove straight to Wellington to spend a night there and catch a ferry the next day. We camped by a park on the waterfront and were cooking pasta with meatballs. As you can imagine all windows Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | May 23, 2009
- Wine tasting in Martinborough
The first winery where we stopped was called Margrain Vineyard. (http://www.margrainvineyard.co.nz/) People were eating overlooking the vineyard and a jazz band was playing - all very nice. We had to pay for a wine tasting, but their rose and pinot Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | May 21, 2009

From Rotorua we headed to Lake Taupo. It's famous for sky diving and was trying to scare

Decided to do a bit of ice skating in Lake Tekapo. It was an outdoor rink surrounded by snow covered mountains and views of the lake.We spent a bit too long there possibly but it was fun. That same night Posted by Jems in Natalie and Jemma's Travels | Jul 28, 2009

- Mt Mauganui, Ohope beach & Rotorua, New Zealand
We then headed to Mt Mauganui. In our book it said that it has marvellous views over the beaches. But we weren't convinced as we hit the highway traffic and spent about two hours driving around the port. However, the Posted by Laima in Around the world in 180 days | Apr 10, 2009
