Yogi-I dont think the ranger's gonna like this...

Where to begin... its been a while.

We left Wanaka and headed to queenstown (after being busted for trying to get a nights free camping) where we chilled out for a few days. Finally the weather started to turn and get a bit nicer. We set up camp in a spot a little way out of town before exploring. As the weather was so good we went up to deer park heights, which is a bit like windsor safri park, but much better. We got really up close with deer, limas, bison, and minature horses (very similar to shetland ponies, but the locals almost seem offended if you call them shetland ponies). You can drive around the park for as long as you want and generally have fun, although lex nearly got knocked over by a rather eager goat that took a shine to her... Also they did some filming for the Lord of the rings and the famous disney film 'the rescue' staring god knows who?

We also visited nearby arrowtown for the afternoon which has great autumnal colours for a bit of a photo opportunity.

If you ever visit queenstown we both highly recommend a trip to the indoor crazy golf course. It cost $15 each, which is a lot when your on a tight budget, but its worth every cent. Its basically like playing golf in a set of thunderbirds, with loads of dodgy model buildings and the like.

After a few days R and R we set off on the Drive to milford sound, a must see part of NZ...
