Road Trip Around the South Island BRRRRRRRRRRR
I have spent the last three weeks touring around the South Island - it was so much fun 
Started in Christchurch - staying at Purau Bay Holiday Park which John’s Mum owns…. I stayed in a cabin and it felt like I was an intrepid camper (although I did have two hotties and flannelette sheets).
John caught up with us and we drove (through the storm and the snow) to Alexandra. Check out our photos here. We had an awesome time ice skating, walking to the clock, watching the Rugby and finding out how John’s Nan met his Grandad.
On the way back to Christchurch, we spent a night in Dunedin and Becks and I broke off for our own fun road-trip - we had an awesome time - you can find more photos here. We spent a couple more nights in the cabin, then headed to Dunedin where it was freezing cold and sleeting. Despite that we did manage to make it to the new Chinese Gardens and had heaps of fun.
Back in Welly now, but off to the Naki on Friday FUN FUN FUN Not working!

Sounds like a great trip. We did a similar tour of the south island in June, got caught in some heavy snow on the way to Wanaka and had to brave the pass there at a verry slow speed.
Thanks for the link to happycamping, it’s a site I run from home, and it’s great to see people finding it useful.
