Had a fun farewell with our hosts and made our way north. The one hour drive took us all day! Yes, of course we made a little detour and found a lot of New Zealand that we had never expected. Took ourselves off to Beaumont along the Clutha River, very beautiful drive. Continued onwards to […]
OK what can I say? It has been an absolute ‘slacko’ day. We decided to absolutely chill out here and do absolutely zilch. We only walked up on the hill overlooking the sea. There we both tried to capture more birds in flight. Then, of course, yours truly here, spent more time with the Alpacas. […]
As always our mornings are becoming slower with organising our departures. Does that mean we are finally in holiday mode? Left our little comfy cottage that was virtually surrounded by sheep, who by the way, kept us entertained for much of our time there. So us country folks now braved to face city driving once […]
Ohhh my goodness, I have finally found a day, yes a whole day, to
myself, and thought it was about time I caught up on yr trip
Firstly, TERRRRRY, Happy Birthday fellow Scorpio,certainly read
like one out of the Blue:)
Well what a read and rather funny at times reading through the
eyes of a first timer to Kiwiland.
Have felt rather emotional, with your wonderfully descriptive daily
Diary, travelling through the land of my birth.
By the way, you cant leave NZ without trying Tip Tops Hokey Pokey
ice cream….even if you buy a tub and leave at yr B&B 🙂
Travel well travel safe folks, will definately tune in tomorrow.
Lots of Love to you both

Today was like a lay day and just peruse the immediate area. A couple of pack packers staying at the farm decided they wanted to join us on our day’s outing. So we decided to make our way to Oamaru township. We missed this yesterday as we took a little diversion on another country road. […]
Left our little farm-stay quite early this morning to make our way back to the mountains and lakes. The area is quite dry but as we kept heading west it became greener and more lush. We passed a couple of dams and hydro-stations before we turned right at Omarama. We found our way quite easily […]
Back on Friday morning. Tell me was Santa good to me last night???
You have been so lucky with the weather in this beautiful area, we have lots of fond memories of Lake pukaki, it just melts your heart.
Really enjoying your blog Ingrid, It’s a trip down memory lane for us.
Great to see you enjoying it so much.
