On the road to Invercargill
Down the SH1 to Invercargill, and who could resist stopping to take a look at Old Sod Cottage! Then back through the Catlins.

The Catlins
Headed south of Dunedin to the Catlins, including the fabulous Nugget Point - very beautiful area; and our patient search for a rare yellow-eyed penguin finally paid off!

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!

Oamaru
Arrived in Oamaru down Highway 1. It is a great little town with old stone buildings. It is also home to the Steampunk Museum! and colonies of penguins. Staying in a fabulous apartment out in the country - see the pictures!

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.
