<By Emma> Invercargill est une ville minuscule, donc nous ne sommes restes que le temps d'une nuit et nous nous sommes mis en route vers Te Anau puis le Milford si affinites. En route, nous avons fait un stop " Martine a la ferme" et nous avons tondu... ... un mouton!!! Si, si, un mouton ... ...a poil laineux! On a tout simplement adore et...

This town is small, beautiful and never sleeps. It is adventuire and party central! It is set on Lake Wakatipu - the third largest lake here in NZ. it is so beautiful!!! I went up the gondola to get the views...fantastic - the lak is bigger than I thought. Yesterday I went to Milford Sound for the day. My camera broke - GUTTED! so have no pictur...

Well in the early hours of the morning(5.30am NZ time, 3.30am AUS time), we were woken by my niece sms'ing to say hi. Great. Try getting back to sleep when you are due to wake soon- impossible! We were determined to go skiing today, as it was our last chance before flying home. The rain was coming down again but we decided to push on. We still h...

After getting a lot of the walking around town out of the way on our last trip to Queenstown, this time we scheduled some activities. Our friends had recommended the Shotover Jet, a jet boat that careens through a river gorge at 80 km/hr, turning 360s and generally trying to terrify the riders.

However, Betsy seemingly had other ideas and on our way back from one ...

Fiona After a mammoth five hour drive, we arrived in Queenstown. I had been looking forward to this part of the trip for a while, not just because of all the activities, but because I had booked us somewhere that, on the internet at least, looked lovely and I was looking forward to a bit of luxury. We arrived at Oaks Shores, on the edge of Lake ...

I had a great night in Wellington - they were having a Carnaval celebration there (even though we're well into the lenten season). The next morning, we caught the ferry to cross the Marlbourogh Sound from the north to the south island. My bus stopped at a winery near Nelson & continued to the Abel Tasman National Park where I stayed in a tent at...

The Pancake Rocks, Punakaiki, are a unique natural attraction on New Zealand's South Island West Coast. Layers of water sculpted limestone, resembling stacks of pancakes, form a fantastic tableau - made even more dramatic by the shootin...
