So you missed the lower half of the South Island?

Then you also missed the bestest scenery!

Next time eh?

Yep, they have 'em here - but with that sort of scenery you don't need to be in a hurry, you'll miss a lot of sights if you're head-down, bum up and fanging it everywhere.

Very sadly we were not able to extend the trip as much as we would have liked. The original plan was to get much further south, but finances took a turn for the worse when we had to pay my fees for Training college and the $$$ got diverted elsewhere.....
We'll just have to plan another trip !
