Whale Watching

OK, so it was cancelled yesterday but which brave soul queued at 06.30 this morning to rebook the trip? We only saw one whale, but twice, and in its natural habitat. Fantastic. Cloudy Bay tomorrow! ps: the photo is real

Kaikoura

Due to tsunami warning all whale watching was cancelled yesterday, this is the boat we would have gone out on! Wait, There's a whale between the two boats, well, there was if I'd been a bit quicker with the camera!

West Coast

On the way to the Tranz Alp train we stopped at Hokitika, thought we were in Skegness! Then we went for breakfast, wow!

Franz Josef

Cold, Wet, Miserable, Fed up, I want my mother!! Not that bad really, first real rain since we've been away but ut has lasted for 24 hours!

Long way from home! This is the view from the top of the cable car in Queenstown, it can only go downhill from now.....and it has. Arrived in Franz Josef this afternoon to torrential rain, and it hasn't stopped yet. Looks like we'll have to go th the Imax to see the glacier!!

Bet the conductor got fed up standing at the back all the way to Queenstown!

Milford Sound

This is B on the CRUISE at Milford Sound. Ab Fab. Only downer, they didn't tell us MS is the wettest place in NZ and our flight back was cancelled. Cooler here in NZ but still mid 20's, have seen snow on the top of the mountains though!
