SO in the last two weeks we have had an up and down time. The weather has been all over the place. When we first got here it was raining and really unbearably cold, then we had some nicer days where it was ok and a little bit sunny. These were good and we went to the Glaciers and Milford sound- fjord really. Then it snowed, when we were in Milford sound it threatened to and did; resulting in the closing of the road. Thank god we did it by a bus trip. Then it was sunny all the way to Queenstown where it had obviously snowed the previous night. From there on we were lucky and have had mainly sunny days. When it rains it puts a real downer on the place and it's like being at home in a camper van.
So we moved on to the smelly springs at Hamner and it rained but because we went to the pools it didn't matter as they were really hot. THEN it snowed. The snow didn't start till bout 2 in the morning and followed all day rain so we didn't think it would last- ha ha ha
Driving in snow in a van your non to happy with is a right old laugh. Peops in England should pay the airfare here and then do driving lessons- it'd make us all a lot better. So up and down the mountains we went till we found the sun.
We're in Nelson at the moment and it's sunny sunny and sunny yeh. Thinking of going to the north island soon. Hopefully it is sunny there too. I HATE RAIN.
P.S Ben has a cold- boooo.
Here is a pic of a Kea they are parrot type birdies and really friendly and like eating shoes and clothes.
