Farewell Spit: Day Ninety-Nine (26 January)

Here I am in the Marlborough Sounds. Isn't it pretty?

Nelson: Day Ninety-Eight (25 January)

While we were in Nelson we also discovered a street called Barnaby Way. They must have known we were coming :-).

Christchurch: Day Ninety-Five (22 January)

The change of car meant I lost my special seat I’d been travelling in all round the South Island (between the two front seats) but Miss Robb was pleased because now we had a radio that worked – and a bigger engine for getting up the hills.

Otago: Day Ninety-One (18 January)

Here's the magnificent view from "the ZigZag". Definitely worth taking the windier road for :-).

Queenstown: Day Ninety - Afternoon (17 January)

I might not have had a go at steering but I really enjoyed the cruise on TSS Earnslaw too and watching the sheep shearing was fascinating.

Queenstown: Day Ninety - Morning (17 January)

Here's Barnaby saying hello to another New Zealand local. This is a giant statue of the Kiwi, the nation's national bird and where New Zealanders get their nickname from.

Doubtful Sound: Day Eighty-Nine (16 January)

I loved our trip to Doubtful Sound too.

The best bit was The Sound of Silence when everyone was asked to be quiet and they cut the boat’s engine. It is like going back to the very beginning of time when all you can hear is birdsong and distant waterfalls. So peaceful.

Mount Cook: Day Eighty-Two (9 January)

Here's Barnaby and me with Mount Cook in the distance. You can see why the Maori call it Aoraki - 'the cloud piercer'.

Barnaby also had a look through the binoculars at the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre.
