CANYON SWING!

Had to be done. Was absolutely terrifying, but I lived through it!! Wewt!

Rob Roy Track 2

Fantastic glaciers near the top of the track combined with 16 waterfalls. Stunning.

Also witnessed a mini-avalanche while we were up there :O Eeep!

Rob Roy Track 1

Absolutely stunning short hike about an hour and a half outside of Wanaka up to the Rob Roy Glacier. Beautiful!

The Road to Wanaka....again

Right, so, onto Wanaka again, except this time I opted to stay a few nights - totally worth it. Went to the Paradiso!
Fantastic little cinema, had some great homemade cookies and ice cream, wee!

Oh also found my all time favourite spread in the supermarket....oh yes...it's what God would put on his toast.

Pancake Rocks

Interesting little place on the West Coast, aptly named Pancake Rocks due to the layering of the limestone. Intriguing :o

At the moment I am spending a few days in Wanaka and then will be in Queenstown again to hopefully see a few more of the sights in that area. Sweet!

Travel time again!

Right, well, time for an update perhaps! After 2 weeks of mind numbingly tedious fruit thinning I have left Blenheim and hopped back on the Stray bus to redo the South Island - there's a few things I missed out on that need doing!

On that theme, may I present some rather lovely photos of Foulwind Point; so named because the discoverer thought it smelt pretty funky...didn't smell bad while we were there though, guess it cleaned up its act!

Swampys!

So have finally moved from Kaikoura onto Blenheim in order to do some work! Am currently at Swampys backpackers, which is pretty nice, and they provide work as part of the accommodation, which works out well!

Gonna spend 3 weeks here before heading back onto the North Island and retracing my route up to Auckland. And hopefully make some money during that time!

Happy 2009 by the way!
