We are well on our way and have covered 800+km in only two days. We are now in Dunedin on the East Coast of South Island and it is fabulous. They have a very eclectic, cool city here too. This is considered the wild life capital of NZ and it shows. Just this afternoon we’ve seen Royal Albatross, Yellow eyed penguins (endagered), seals, sea lions and numberous birds. We were so close to the Albatross we were able to see a mother and baby in their nest and the mum was feeding baby…..unbelievable. We are changing our plans to fit as much as we can. Locals have told us we should make the trip to the southern point Invercargill Bluff. From there we will take an overnight cruise through Fijordland (Doubtful Sound)…..it gets is name from the old explorers as they were “doubtful” they would make it through….hence, the reason you don’t sail the South Island! We brought a tent and sleeping bags from home so we are set with camping along the way. NZ makes it very easy as there are awesome, clean camp grounds everywhere! After our first night sleeping in just the sleeping grounds we were quite sore so we ventured out to find some foam! We also purchased a large Sheepskin (a must in NZ) and are now living like true woodsmen!!!!! The country is gorgeous. The roads are all mountain, country roads so we just wind our way through the country. We’ve driven some hairy, teensy, tiny passes too…..Independence Pass in Colorado has nothing on this place!!!!!! It’s amazing our much uninhabited land there is here…..and also how many SHEEP! They say the population of NZ is about 4.5 million people and 20-40million sheep!!!!! Also the beef and lamb here are FAB! All for now….we will keep you posted..Life is Good!
