Otago Penisular
Spent a day visiting the lovely Otago Penisular - fabulous views. No wind, so no flying Albatross! But the place made up for it!

Christchurch - Banks Penisular
The accommodation issues on the west meant we headed east, across Arthur's Pass - spectacular. Staying in a great homestay. Visited the amazing Banks Penisular - incredible scenery.

Towards the Glaciers
Took a trip down to the Glaciers - went on a wild life trip to see the White Heron's nesting - at the only place on NZ that they nest, then a helicopter trip over the glaciers before driving down to the Franz Joseph Glacier.

Greymouth and around
A couple of days in the Greymouth area - accommodation proved a bit tricky but fell on our feet in the end!

On to the South Island
A delayed crossing due to problems with an earlier boat meant that the ferry we were on took a longer, less rough route for the crossing. We headed straight to Nelson, which was busy due to the World Cup Cricket arriving on Monday.... Today we headed across to the west coast, to the town of Westport. Some photos from the journey below.
