Milford Sound

We took a trip to the beautiful Milford Sound and saw the magnificent fiord's, waterfalls and the cute seals. It was fantastic and these pictures don't do it justice but take a look....
Her is me doing a Titanic!!
Here is the mirrored lake check out the reflection in the water.

I don't think Mike is willing to get used to the sub zero temperatures just yet!!

Olsen hot pools and our new home!!

Well done Jen how could we forget the hot pools it was amazing. You own private room with spa with a huge picture window that retracts so that you are sat outside on the mountain and overlooking the shot of river watching the jets spin by. Here are a few pics to give you an idea. It doesn't look real but it so is, the best hot pools ever!!!!






We are now back on the road in a new campervan however just renting this time. We would like to introduce to you all to our new home for a few weeks 'Woody' named after our best friend with huge head who has weird obsession with campers (boring!! HA!HA!) Mr Ryan Woodruff, miss you Cowhead and your evil Mrs!! xx






As you can see 'Woddy' is small but well equipped!! He is reliable and and comes with everything you need, perfect. We recommend everybody to have a woody in their lives!!!

Snow Time - Queenstown, New Zealand

We have arrived in New Zealand and our first stop was Queenstown and it didn't disappoint this was our first glimpse, not bad hey?

As you can tell the bikinis and boardies are all packed away and I'm sorry to say its all winter woollies from now on !! It was now time to hit the slopes and try to snowboard...come on!!!!

I know, I know we look really cool...HA!HA! It was bloody freezing but great fun!!!

Here is me trying out a few moves...on the magic carpet, I know but a girl has to practice!!!



What about this then? It was closely followed by a big bump nobody told us it hurt this much we have so many bruises it's just wrong.

Here is my wonderful husband and yeah he got the whole snowboarding thing very quickly however come the end I was giving him a run for his money.If you believe that you will believe anything!!


This was much more me tubing...lying in a big rubber ring and getting pushed down a hill, awesome.

I had to put this picture on..check out the size of this burger, it was as big as Mike's head. I had a standard half the size of his and he still finished his before me!!! Also the name of the burger was BIG AL,(gods honest truth) enough said!!! Love you Al xx

To get over all the aches and pain we did take a day off from the snow and had the most awesome day. It started with us getting all wrapped up and going for a spin quite literally within inches of sharp rocks in the Shot Over Jet. It was minus 18 on the water!!! Brrrrrr


We then had a helicopter ride to the top of the gondola....it was only 10-15 minutes but it was the best. I felt like a cross between a celebrity and secret agent!!!!HA!HA! love it!

The day ended with us having races down the luge and and finally making our way back down the gondola.


We have had the most awesome time in Queenstown and so much fun. We may even hit the slopes again as we travel around.Its time for us to hit the road again and we are getting another camper again. I just hope it comes with electric blankets brrrrrr
