This is the longest day at 13 miles, but also the last day. It's a half marathon. I'm still positive and happy, though now I have a blister on each foot, but they are fine. It's raining as we set out. I decided on day 1 that I didn't need to wear a jacket as most of the way the trees were shelter. By the boat house (5 mile) I was really wet. The...

This is the hardest day. Lights on at 6:15 and out at 7:30. Again Rena and I were the first ones out. Start early and then you can walk slowly, is the idea. We stuck together for while then I lost her after about 3.5 miles into today's walk. Between Mintaro Hut (2.5 miles) and the Mackinnon Memorial it's uphill with zigzags all the way. At one p...

< br>We were back on the coach for the first time in three days and set for more monotonously spectacular lakes and mountains. But first off we had to stop at the original bungy site at Kawarau Bridge – the most popular leap for those only choosing to do a single AJ Hackett jum...

The next day we had an early drive over to Milford Sound one of the most famous fiordland (they spell it with an "i" down here spelling fans) inlets where we had a morning boat trip planned. The landscape changed dramatically as we progressed on our 2 hour drive and enetered the wetland area. It became really "mystical" (best word I can think of...

Yes you read it correctly. He didnt feel well flying into Christchurch but thought it was fear of flying. then he thought he had pulled a muscle carrying suitcases. By Tuesday he had spots on his back but thought he had been bitten. Then more arrived so we tried to find a doctor-not easy in the remote parts of nz, found a surgery but they had 2 ...

Today we opted for a tour to Milford Sound.  Instead of driving our selves which is 10 hours round trip, we decided to sit back and enjoy the view and let others do the driving for us.  The BBQ Bus (cute name huh?) picked us up at 7AM from our Queenstown hotel.  We choose this outfit because its smaller and a good value.  The tour includes round...

So the top sightseeing destination in New Zealand is the Milford
Sound. It is listed twice as a UN World Heritage site for its
cultural as well as geographic significance. After taking our time
driving and doing a bit of hiking through it, we both understand why
-- we agree that Milford Sound and the surrounding Fiordland Nationa...

Yet again I got up at 7:20am to head for Milford Sound, as it is the number one thing to see in New Zealand and as I had the time it would have been criminal not to make an effort to see it. We got on the bus with the bus driver Cheese not knowing whether the road was open or not, the weather was a bit iffy also. We travelled all the way to Te A...

We get up before 7, with Steph being hungover from one too many drinks the night before and regretting it for the rest of the day.

We are to head to Milford Sound, which is actually incorrectly named as a sound is carved out by a river, but Milford was carved by glacial movement and so is a fiord. We reach Milford at lunch time as it is 3...

After skydiving we left Qeenstown & headed for Te Anau, the nearest town to Milford Sound, which is rated as the number one destination in New Zealand and thought by some to be the 8th wonder of the world. In the morning, we set off on the 2 hour drive on Milford Road, and even this was pretty spectacular. We had to drive right through the h...
