Hello, I think this will be my last blog from NZ as we are flying out to Buenos Aries in 2 days. Since our tramping adventures we have been hot footing it to Auckland to watch the Auckland Blues play the Queensland Reds in the super 14. On the way up we stopped off at the two glacier towns of Fox and Franz Joseph, and went hiking on the Fox glacier. This was pretty amazing, its fairly surreal to be walking on a giant lump of ice whilst the sun is beating down on you. Our next point of interest was Abel Tasman national park, where we went sea kayaking along the cost, here we saw seals frolicking about on the rocks, and a lot of cormorants. We stopped for lunch on a deserted beach and it was a beautiful sunny day. Seeing the rugged costline from sea level in a kayak is definately the way to do it. I am now in Taupo where we are simply stopping to use the internet, have lunch and chill for a bit before hitting the road again.
Thisd past four and a bit weeks in New Zealand have been epic, its been the most action packed 4weeks of my life. So far NZ tops the list of countrys i have visited, and i definately want to come back. The people have all been nice and friendly and the whole coutnry is like a giant adventure playgroud. Dad, you should definately come out, its like the lake district on steroids.
So anyhows, next stop South America and Buenos Aries. Blog soon.
