So here we are today (Thurs)in Murchison - it's a bit of a 1 horse town and looks like something from the wild west! Honestly! But it's alledgedly the white water rafting capital of NZ (if not the world!) we've driven today from Blenhim, up the Waipaui (i'm going to have spelled that wrong) valley, and past lakes Rotoui, and Rotoura. Unbelievably massive lakes completely in the mildle of nowhere. It's like something out of Lord of the Rings!!!!! Snow capped mountains and alpine views have combined to make today's drive particularly awe-inspiring.
We're just in the tourist information trying to sort out digs for the night! There are a couple of scary things to do here, including a swing-brige and 'cannoning' which sound just up Dan's street!
Will write again when next have access!
Love L&D xxxx
Hellooooo!
ReplyDeleteHave just been catching up on your New Zealand leg of the journey. I can imagine the views are incredible and I am not jealous at all! Enjoy being away from normality as much as you can... I've been on hold to british gas for 3 days (or so it seems) and am losing the will to live! ;)
Hope the rest of the holiday continues to be fab!
Lots of love Janey xxx
Hold on in there Janie!!!!
