Milford Sound
well what can i say....... nothing that will do it justice! no really it was out of this world!
the mountains all with snow covered peeks, the water so blue/black it was amazing! the only downer was it was cloudy! other than that it was amazing! cold but amazing!
so early start and a bit of a muck up with the rooms so we had to change and bla bla bla had to put the bags in storage and stuff so that was annoying but ok. so on the bus at 7.45am and back at 7.45pm so a long old day! 300k there and 300k back with a boat trip in the middle and a floating thing that you go in and under the water 10m so you can see all the fish and coral! it was wicked! took millions of pictures! well at least 200!

so Milford sounds in the morning! getting the bus at 7.45am and off we go on the day tour! go on a boat and get given lunch! what nice people! well for the amount the ticket costs am glad they do give you lunch! nope it should be good and will be lots of snow due to the rain today so that will be pretty!
plan for Tuesday is ski-ing and prob for Wednesday as well! lots of snow up on the mountains so all is good!
not long left in New Zealand now! just over a week! it has gone pretty quick really but has been really good fun so far! have booked my bus out of Queenstown for Friday morning so thats lucky!
hope all is well and that it is warmer than here!

Greymouth
Train was so amazing! bloody cols but it was so good! the first half was under cloud but made it look really cool! went through the big long tunnel 5miles or so and come out the other side and it was bright sunshine! was so good! such beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, forests so on and so on!
went to the beer tasting thing and seeing as i really dont like beer and never drink it i drank rather a lot of the nasty stuff! the apple cider was good and the lemon and lime one was drinkable! Ryan and Rose kept taking my glass up! think they thought it was funny! Ryan is from Chicago and Rose Korea so im doing well!
so off to Franz Josef in the morning! 8am start so thats pretty good and the hostel im staying at even give you breakfast! good morning to look forward to!
im off to have a BATH! so excited! first bath in 7 months! even got a proper towel and everything! if i wasnt so excited about Queenstown and if the town was more exciting i would stay here longer!

Christchurch
So a long day starting at 7am and just got to the hostel now at 8pm! so got the ferry to Picton the the train pretty much straight away to Christchurch! i did have time for a subway in the middle so that was lucky! best thing of all the sub of the day was meatballs!
the weather was pretty naff but was beautiful all the same! getting to see the mountains on one side and the Pacific ocean on the other! the waves were huge!
best thing of all im staying at the jail house! yes a really jail house! well it was many years ago! they have pretty much left it how it was but have painted it and added some better beds and sofas and stuff and you can open the doors from the inside! a bonus i think! they have left 1 room with all the stuff in it which is really cool! have take some photos so you can see them when i get back as i have no way of putting them online at the moment!
so off to Graymouth in the morning on another train! should be fun! going through the mountains this time! cant wait but its another early start! have to be outside for 7.45 so not as bad as this morning!
