Jack: 20 mins forth to Te Anau to use info centers and book a glow worm tour for the evening and then phoned Joella to book us on Doubtful Sound overnight cruise tomorrow when the weather will be awful,and we are assured the views will be better. 10 mins back to Rainbow Reach for a 3 hour walk to Motorau Hut . Lunch first in the car park, cheese...

Yesterday, we arrived in Te Anau, back from our first tramp. We dub the first trip of any series of trips "The Shake Down Trip." The purpose of this trip is to evaluate our gear to establish what worked well, what other gear we may need to buy and what items may not be necessary on future trips (weight is key). Our first tramp, the Kepler Track,...

We woke up early to get to Milford for our 10:30am RealJourneys Nature Cruise. The weather was still not good--rainy, cloudy, dull. We headed out at 8:15am. We really enjoyed the drive because the scenery was spectacular even in the less than beautiful weather. I didn't let hubby stop much which aggravated him, but we had a cruise to catch! I kn...

Its been a few days since I've updated this so sorry if the details of the next few blogs are a little sketchy. I've been destroying my brain cells with beer lately. By the way we've just reached 2000 hits on the site so I'm glad some people are reading it. So we left Te Anau this morning and decided to head South with no plans in mind but to ju...

After having such a fantastic jetboating experience yesterday, we decided that we needed to do it again!! So we went and checked out the competitors and had an hour long trip with the Kawarau Jet up the Kawarau and Shotover rivers. It was just as fun as we had remembered, but we got quite a lot wetter because we were spinning in deeper water. No...
