Me up Franz Josef Glacier
That's us in Kaikoura today, on the East Coast of the South Island. I've just been on a Whale Watching tour, saw about 7 Sperm Whales and loads of Dusky Dolphins and even an Albatross! It was excellent - got lots of photos!
Sperm Whale diving underWe've been quite busy on the South Island seeing all the sights. We went to the Franz Josef Glacier on the West Coast, and got a Hellicopter Ride to the top which was great. Also saw the Fox Glacier, Mt Cook and Lake Mathieson. Then we drove down to Queenstown and spent a little while there, it was a nice little town. We had hoped to drive to Milford Sound but the roads were very icy so we decided it would be safer not to chance it so we went across to Dunedin on the East Coast instead - it was a small town very similar to Edinburgh, with similar street names etc!
Lake MathiesonWe went past Lake Tekapo on the journey up to Kaikoura which was a nice little spot in "MacKenzie Country." Planning to drive up to Picton today and get the ferry across to Wellington and go to see Rotorua, Lake Taupo, and Gisborne. So it's all been quite busy! We've done over 3000km in our Camper, but it seems to be pretty reliable and no problems yet (other than the amount of fuel it uses!)
