Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the comments...even the spam ones!
So, a big recap on the last week... it was good, except for some minor sickness!
Let's just say that our new years eve party was as boring as hell (Now I was sick).
After getting back to the south island we went to St. Arnaud. A beautiful place right in the mountains. But after that, it started raining all the way to Karamea. It rained so hard, that the road from Westport to Karamea was closed due to flooding. That was crap!
So we ended up staying in Westport and Greymouth... Greymouth being the most boring place on the planet.
We then went down to Fox glacier and did a glacier walk. Hugely rewarding and very exciting! I've put up some pictures of our tour on the glacier. By the way, even the tourguide was impressed that it was so dry...no rain at all. A couple of girls we met in a B&B in Hokitika got drenced, as they were going to Fox the day after. Big smile on our faces though.
It's true what people say about fiordland being the wettest place on the planet. After travelling to and staying in a remote resort in Wanaka, the rain started when we drove down to Te Anau. We stayed there in order to go kayaking in the Milford Sound. Ofcourse that lived up to it's expectation of being the wettest place in NZ. 250 mill of rain and 3 hours of kayaking...that's psycho! At the end, we didn't enjoy the trip and just wanted to go and have a bath. So now I'm sitting here with muscle pains. And I now know the misses would never have liked to do this trip on a motorbike!
So for now my update....oh, and we visited a couple Lord of the Rings film locations by hiking for about 4 hours and it's very rewarding!
