Well, hello everyone, I am sure you have all be waiting with great anticipation for our next blog!!! ha ha:)
We have had a fun few days with a few adventures along the way!. We woke bright and early and travelled by bus to Milford sounds. It was a 4 hour trip both ways so it was a long day but we did get to watch a local kiwi film on the way back which passed some time:). We went on a boat trip around Milford sounds which was nice. The mountains were foreboding, and we also saw a lovely waterfall and some seals. It was a great day but we felt maybe not as amazing as people had said it would be. Maybe part of this was due to the fact that it was quite grey and windy.!I hope we are not getting too spoint with all the lovely scenery we have seen.!
Day 2 involved a supposedly short trip to Dunedin, were we were going to see the lovely yellow eyed, and baby blue, penguins. Apparently the blue penguins are tiny and they must not be scared too much or their heart would stop beating and they would die. Poor creatures!!!! However the day turned out to be rather longer than anticipated because the bus broke down. Thankfully an empty bus happened to be passing and we were dropped off in the nearby town, Cromwell. Here we stayed for 4 hours, eating from the bakery, drinking coffee, eating some more, drinking more coffee..... We felt we got to know Cromwell well and certainly provided a lot of custom to the local bakery!!We evebntualy arrived at Dunedin. We had a yummy Indian and because we are doing 'so well' with our no snack diet we decided to have a mc flurry as well! hmm I am not sure this 'diet' is going so well at present!
Today we got the magic buds to lake tekapo.Stopped off on the way to walk up the worlds steepest street.!Lake tekapo is a really pretty lake. There is a little church on the lakefront called the church of the good shephard which has amazing views from inside, and apparently is very popular for weddings. You have to book several years in advance if you want a spring wedding there!
Over and out for now!
Miss you all and lots of love
Kay and Anne xx
