So we started our South island road trip on wednesday. We flew down and landed in sunny Christchurch, picked up our little black Nissan Pulsar and drove down to Timaru. Here we stayed the night in a hostel bunk bed and saved our pennies by buying a hot chicken from PacknSave supermarket and picked at the poor chicken whilst parked up outside!! (saving pennies for our sky-dive on monday!) after taking a look around the area and catching up on sleep, we then drove down to Lake Tekapo. The lakes are clear blue and the hills and mountains surrounding the windy roads on the way down are amazing! We then jumped back in the car and drove down to Wanaka. Here we are staying 2 night in a lovely little lodge. We have our own double bedroom with a hot tub!! Nice aye?!
Yesterday was HOT so we paddled around in the lake. Lake Wanaka is sooo spectacular. Its clear blue and surrounded by mountains (just like the piccy below!)
Today we hopped on down to Queenstown to check out the area and play Frisbee Golf (i relaise im not very good at it, but it was great fun anyway!) We then drove all the way back to Wanaka (WE love it there) and went to Puzzle World where we got lost in a giant maze and confused by many opticial illussions. We then relaxed in the hottub tonight and chatted to 3 girls from Ireland.
Tomorrow we are heading North West to Fox Glacier. Should be fun....Just wait and see...
Love to everyone back home x
