We are travelling through countryside that is
just so stunning! We couldn't have imagined how unique and beautiful the
landscape is here in the South Island of New Zealand.
The mountains are like rolling hills
interspersed with beautiful green/blue lakes and cascading waterfalls with the
quick glimpse of snow capped Mount Cook every now and again.
This blog will be all about the photos as words
are inadequate (I can hear you saying, "thank goodness!!!").

| Sunset in Greymouth |
Sun set from the beach in Greymouth, our penultimate night
in the van - every campsite we have stayed in has been brilliant, lovely
showers, kitchens and lounges, some with log fires and lots of opportunities to
meet others travelling and enjoy hearing their stories and sharing ours.
We end our time in the South Island travelling
across Arthur's pass to Christchurch - another spectacular journey with Heather
having to leap from the van to take yet more photos!! They will be lovely
memories to look back on and share with you.
Friday was a 'domestic' day with sorting out the
van ready to hand back and doing all the chores we had left undone till then -
a quick flight and we are now back with Fiona and Nick in Auckland - it's good
to be home!!
We should be writing our next blog having just
arrived in Hanoi next Friday.
A word of warning: Vietnam is a Communist
country and it blocks Facebook; we’re not sure if Vietnam also blocks Blogger. Bear
with us if our blog and/or Facebook posts are late.
See you then.
Heather and Ken xx
