We drove from Napier on to Wellington, through some amazing country and some mountains where the winds were so strong a camper-van blew over!
Then a flight on to Christchurch.

Driving steadily north brought us to Lake Tekepo - and WAS IT COLD! Totally worth it though, as the local scenery was just stunning!
On our way to Dunedin we stopped off at a tourist spot that boasts some HUGE marbles!
Definitely one of our favourite places so far, we stayed with some delightful fold at the Leithview B&B, who had an amazing menagery of animals and home cottage industries - really delightful hosts!Okumaya devam et
We did quite a bit of sight-seeing around Dunedin, including the brilliant and beautiful Larnach Castle!

The coach trip from Te Anu was really interesting too, amazing scenery and a really informative tourOkumaya devam et
