1,386 kilometres of fun !!!


Well, we have returned from the wild wild west. We are relaxed, invigorated, sick of the inside of the car, but we had an absolute blast !!! We ...

Did the whole maze at PuzzlingWorld in Wanaka (without cheating) and found our way back out again ...
Stood beside some amazing waterfalls and lakes ...
Watched (and ate) the inhabitants of a salmon farm ...
Hiked for four hours to Fox Glacier and back ...
Ate whitebait fritters ...
Bought greenstone pendants for the rugrats ...
Found the best fudge shop ever ...
Panned for gold ...
Rode on a steam train ...
Walked on the beach at Greymouth at sunset ...
Fed a kea ...
Ate lunch beside a river in Arthurs Pass and dodged sandflies ...
Collected a gazillion rocks (and some driftwood too) ...
Saw Gran and Pop and their new baby lambs ...
Took several hundred photos ...
Laughed a lot !!!

Didn't see a single cowboy, but we did pass a couple of Indian restaurants :)

Don't mind him above, he's probably just miffed cos you went to a fudge shop without him.

If you'd made it as far as Wellington without a word, then that woulda been different lol

What a wonderful time you all had. It's a shame in some ways that you have to return home really isn't it? lol Glad to read you enjoyed yourselves :)
