Seal Attack

The past week has been a bit fly by the seats of our camper....

We pretty much killed the North Island and are well and truly conquering the South...

After a breathtaking channel crossing we hit Kiakoura, where we had some close encounters with Seals and Sea Gulls... I basically got chased around the car park by a ferrule seal, it has got to be one of the sacriest and funniest things to have happened to me in NZ... I think everyone else found it quite amusing too, seeing as they were all in hysterics, you should have seen the look on my face... Priceless... Walked along the stunning coastline and took in the fresh sea breeze before making our way across the Island via Hanmer Springs, Lewis Pass and a Southern Alps snow storm on our way to Franz Josef and our Glacier Hike.

The Glacier Hike was stunning spent 8 hours on the ice caving, tunneling and hiking... got some great pics.

We then headed further south down through Fox Glacier, Haast and Wanaka to Queenstown where we roughed it for our first night and have decided to check into a hostel so we can prep ourselves for a wild weekend... The 'Stray' gang are hot on our tails and should be arriving here tonight so it's gonna get rather messy... I'm loving Queenstown... It's a small town with a city feel.... right up my street.

Not sure what activities we are gonna do here, but the 'Canyon Swing' and the 'Shotover Rafting' looks great...

Watch this space..

p.s. - Wanted to give the BIGGEST SHOUT OUT EVER to Emma and Craig for their wedding day on Saturday 14th, for me that is tomorrow.... Have an awesome day you crazy kidz
My love to the rest of the family too... Have a couple of vinos for me
