... design museum and even a little circuit on the free shuttle bus that ships the tourists around. We even had a lazy little look around the shops on the high street which just seem reality foreign and familiar at the same time after so long in the Americas. Above all though today has been about slowly getting used to a country again where you don't feel as though every thing is going at 100 miles an hour. Where you there is not a surprise hiding behind every ...

... feels great. My day started when i found a great little cafe where the locals seem to go and was stoked to have discovered such a good find. It was cheap and i had the most divine feta, pumpkin quiche..it really is the simple things for me. So i was set to start my day of exploring and it just continued to get better. And i reckon it will just get better as i had south to the mountains to the ski slopes..yeehaw!

... drinking was still excellent. As well as the<br>quality of the pinot noir, the relative low yields to other major<br>regions in the world leads to some quite hefty price tags - a very<br>enjoyable day out, and one which will probably cost me a few quid in<br>high end wine shops back in the UK as I try in vain to pretend I'm<br>still on holiday!After a very pleasant night spent in<br>Wanaka with more home-cooked camper van delights for ...

... s "Birds", we were set upon by hordes of ravenous sandflies. No thought of ozone depletion or environmental contamination crossed my mind as I blasted frantically with Raid and Off, as this was a primeval fight for survival. Several kamakazied into my tequila glass, obviously hoping to mount an attack from the inside but the jokes on them - I drink it neat and they don't. I beat a hasty retreat to the wagon and moved it to the gravel area away from what was now known as "THE ...

After our last blog, we went on a full day glacier hike up Franz Josef. We were kitted out with waterproof trousers and jackets as well as hats, gloves, uncomfortable boots and crampons. We has a breathtaking scenic walk up to the glacier before straping on our crampons and climbing up the ice. The crampons took a little ehile to get used to, but once you got used to them they were fine, It was a beautiful sunny day and we walked right up into ...

... to end that part of our day. After checking in on Mark (who had actually ventured outside for a few minutes), we went to the Kiwi and Wild Bird Sanctuary.  We wanted to see a kiwi before leaving New Zealand, and since kiwi are endangered, nocturnal birds (Flightless but not wingless), we figured it was see them in a reserve or not at all.  In addition to learning about many of the endangered NZ birds, we also got to see the tuatara.  The tuatara is "NZ's most distinctive ...

... autocaravana, trouxemos as coisas que tinhamos comprado enquanto na Austrália, mais alguma da comida que nos tinha sobrado, numa caixa de cartão... esta levantou algumas suspeitas durante os controlos atrás referidos, pelo que tivémos que explicar o conteúdo da caixa (latas de atum, um frasco de alcaparras, café, um aquecedor eléctrico, um tapete, entre muitos outros items interessantes), quase nos desmanchámos a rir mas os agentes não pareceram nada ...

... hours watching the Buskers ( there is a busker festival at the moment) and one particular one, Basketball Man really made him laugh, he was hysterical! There are some very nice palces to eat in Christchurch, particularly down near the river, where you can dine out al fresco. It also seems to be very easy to get about without the need for a car which is nice. There are trams you can take and there is an evening Tram that has a restaraunt on itso you can ...

... do until she'd spoken to her family properly and understood in more detail what had happened. <br><br>As you can imagine the next hour or so were horrible for Katie, she was absolutely devastated. <br><br>In the middle of all this Bex knocked on the door of our apartment, so I had to explain what had happened and asked her if she &amp; Hutchy could waste some time while I found out if Katie wanted to go ahead with lunch or forget all about it ...
