Reo Moana Bed and Breakfast South Island

... how early she gets in the pen!. I'm sure they realised we were strangers as they kept stopping to have a look at us.The automatic milking parlours are amazing - the cows all know what to do and when to reverse out after the cups come off their teats. Then they turn around and make their way back home.It's a hard life being a dairy herd farmer - it wasquite pleasant on a cold autumn afternoon in the light but would be ...

... ich viel Anlauf, wenn ich einen Huegel zu **klimmen vorhabe. Am Samstag bin ich nach Owaka gefahren. Ich befinde mich in ein** Gegend, die The Catlins heisst und zwar auch nicht voellig unb**uehrt ist, ab** spa**lich besiedelt, und wo man nicht einmal Handynetz hat!!! Hi** ist es wund**schoen, nicht zuletzt weil die Sonne scheint und keine Wolke am Himmel zu sehen ist. Schon kurz nachdem ich aus Dunedin rausgefahren bin wurde ich **schlagen von d ...

... of Bluff at literally the end of the road to get a photo next to the yellow signpost indicating London being 18,958km away! This was the sister point to Cape Reigna, which we visited at the northern most tip of the North Island. However, here is not the most southern point on the South Island, we drove a further hour along the coast through the Catlins to Slope Point where we stood just slightly further south, at a latitude of 46deg, which was closer to the south pole ...

... jugs of steaming hot gravy, all followed by an oozing chocolate pudding and squirty cream and apple jaffles - like an apple turnover, waffle. YUM! and you can imagine! after so many nights on the tuna pasta and sausage rice, a roast really was the order of the day! after dropping us off, shannon asked us to stay around for a couple more days, and i know we would have loved to, to keep talking to them about australia, maybe go out on a kangaroo hunt, maybe go out fishing on the ...

... een stevige daling op de laatste dag. Na het regelen van een slaapplek hebben we bij een heel klein cafe/museumpje wat gerund werd door 2 oudjes een homemade appelstrudel gehaald, compleet met een flinke bol ijs en slagroom... ze wisten duidelijk hoe het moest daar :) Bij de lokale supermarkt hebben we wat lichtgewicht eten voor 2 dagen gehaald voor de trip. 16-03: Op tijd op vandaag want voor de eerste dag stond 9 uur lopen op de ...

Took it easy to Invercargill, famous for the guy that raced motorbikes at the age of 78. A part of the museum is dedicated to him. The museum is cool and haphazard. We loved it. Didn´t stay too long as we headed to the Catlins for 2 days. Caves, Sea lions, weird whirry things, the best free campsite ever and a lost german. We had fun. We had to really start makig an effort to get to Christchurch so pushed on to Dunedin.

... enjoyed coming home covered in sheep sh1t. Only have dial-up here so it's painfully slow, but I'll try to upload some photos of the last couple of days. Off to Te Anau tomorrow with even more toys and to do some walking in between rain showers. At least its not particularly cold at the moment.

... with sheep, but you just cannot see them well as the scale of the scenery is so large that the vast numbers of sheep cannot be seen in the photo. At best they look like a bunch of white maggots on a green hill. So here are some samples of what we have seen in sheep and other varied shots as we traveled the southern scenic route.

... the dull outline of Stewart Island off the coast. In reality the scene looked a lot nicer than I think I&#8217;ve made it out to be.<br> <br>After getting some lunch and poking around Invercargill for a while I headed north. As I got closer to Queenstown and the road hugged the eastern shore of Lake Wakatipu my jaw dropped. Even though I&#8217;d travelled along this way in the coach on the way to Milford Sound it was only ...
