South Island Adventures......






















After leaving the North Island and some amazing people we headed out on the Ferry to the South Island with a hangover, we thought that the best remedy would be a nice fry up. How wrong we were after spending $12 (remember we are on a budget) for what looked like bolied bacon and yellow jelly rather than egg we came to the conclusion that this probably wasnt the best recovery process.

We headed down to Nelson and stayed in another nice hostel (in fact we have been very lucky with the hostels that we stayed in) we didnt do to much there and even decided to give our bodies a night of the booze......dont all be too shocked.

We left Nelson fairly early and headed out for another Walk (Jeff you would love New Zealand for all the walks and we dont even moan like Snowdon - ha ha) we headed further south to Westport where we decedied to do some horse riding. The lucky horses were, Luke (Kate's), Walter (Stacey's) and Locky (Deb's) we headed out to the fields and after no more that five minutes the heavens opened and the rain and hail stones came down and we were all soaked through......no so much fun. We deceided to call it a night and headed back the following morning which was much better and the sun shined for us, there were some beautiful scenes and it was great seeing Katie galloping - she could definately go for the 2012 olympics.

After spending a night at the most random little bar and hostel we have headed down to Frankie J's (Franz Josef for those that want the full name) and tomorrow we are heading to do an eight hour hike, which should be lots of fun.

More photo's will be uploaded soon but we have been having problems recently!

Much love to you all

The girls xx
