Hello readers! We woke up much earlier than usual this morning as we had a full day activity planned and needed to drive an hour to get there. We left Nelson and embarked on the hour long drive to a place called Kaiteriteri (translation: Food quickly quickly). Kaiteriteri is located on the edge of the […]

Hello everyone. We woke up without an alarm this morning which was nice and hightailed it out of Blenheim as we really didn’t have anything to do here. We grabbed a couple of Hawaiian rolls from the Countdown and hit the road. It was about a 1.5 hour drive to Nelson. It was quite a […]

Hi everyone. We woke up this morning in our nice accommodation across from the beach. We packed our stuff and grabbed some sausage rolls from the Kaikoura bakery that were tiny and then zipped over to our morning activity and drove about 2 minutes down the road to where it was. At the centre there […]

Hello readers. We woke up to a much nicer weather today in Christchurch. We packed our stuff into the car and checked out of our accommodation. Then we walked around Christchurch looking at all the street art on our way to breakfast. Breakfast was at Grizzly Baked goods. Ronnie got a Pain Au Chocolate which […]

This morning it had stopped raining but it was still incredibly cold from the icy wind chill. We got ready for the day and headed by car to Copenhagen Bakery which was on the way to our first activity. At the bakery we got a steak and cheese pie, cheese potato top pie and sausage […]

Hello readers! Today we allowed ourselves to sleep in a little bit to top off a nice night of relaxing that we had last night. We packed our gear into the car and hit the road to our next destination; the biggest city on the South Island, Christchurch. We had a short stop for breakfast […]

Hello everyone. It was an early morning wake up this morning because the mighty Eagles were playing at 6am. It was a great start to the morning with another victory. We toasted up some bagels and had cream cheese and strawberry jam on them (which we discovered in Wanaka) which were delicious with a cup […]

The day started off just like it did yesterday with a quick visit to the hotel restaurant for a breakfast platter which was yet again very nice and convenient. We then returned to the room and packed our stuff up to hit the road (but not before grabbing a coffee). Dunedin was certainly a strange […]

Hello readers, We woke up at a reasonable hour this morning and went down to the hotel restaurant for our included breakfast. This is the first included breakfast we have had on the trip and we are starting to think that it is the way to do it. The breakfast was a choice of two […]
