The cruise on the fiord (yes, Milford Sound is actually a fiord) is nice as well and you can see a lot of life in the water and admire the hills even more. And the Underwater Observatory is just fantastic if you arena��t a diver and want to see whata��s under the water. Would you like hiking just do some walk, there is plenty of them from short to long ones. We went to Lake Marian, which is really nice, waterfalls falling into it and you see some small glacier behind it. Would you like to return to the history just go to the Hollyford Valley and take fuel at the emergency pump a�� it is nice to see how they pump the petrol by hand.

Further we went, the next stop were Clifden Caves, where you can go freely on your own. It is narrow in places and ends with deep pool we were too scared to go around. But when you start from the end you have several ladder there and it looks like easy job to go around the pool. Anyway, there isna��t a lot of decoration just a lot of stupid inscriptions everywhere.

At Waipapa Point we saw two sea lions laying on the beach and sleeping, they didna��t mind when we get really close to them. Slope Point is the southermost point of South Island of New Zealand and it was pretty windy there. But the most beautiful part of Catlins was probably the Curio and Purpoise Bay. There is a petrified forest (not too bad) but there are some animals as well a�� the rarest yellow-eyed penguins and hectora��s dolphins. We saw both and it is really great feeling when you swim (or paddle in our case) with dolphins all around you.

After long time there was city on our way a�� Dunedin. Really nice old railway station, Cadbury Factory (where youa��ll get samples during the tour and youa��ll learn that they send the old chocolate which nobody wants to Australia a�� just kidding :-) and the steepest road in the World. We were probably the only car which made it to the top and it was incredible feeling when you see the steep road and feel the limits of the car. And you can make really funny photos over there.

Moeraki Boulders is the place where you should spend some time doing a great photos. However, we didna��t have the time nor the Sun and our photos arena��t so nice as those you can see everywhere. It is just incredible how round the rocks are and really interesting how they were created.

You cannot miss the Mt Cook village. It is one of the most popular places for Spaceships as there are heaps of them. Go for 3D movie which is really nice and you would like to go to place you saw there, take a boat on the Tasman Lake and cruise around the icebergs a�� they are huge, colourful and the sight would blow you away. We were really surprised as we went to the Glacier Lookout the day before and didna��t see anything interesting on the lake, but the second day when we went to the lake a�� we were really blowed away.

” “>order , ” ” .

And would you like walking a�� go for Muller Hut. It is about 6-7 hours return trip with gorgeous views and it is worth the time and energy. You wouldna��t believe but we spent there 3 days instead of 1 we originally planed.

Christchurche, the biggest city of South Island, is nice small city. Pleasant historical centre and great staff at Spaceships branch. They did the necessary service on our Newt in record time and Kelly is really nice guy :-) We went for Antarctic Centre where you can see blue penguins (and they are really quick under the water) or enjoy polar storm (youa��ll get pretty cold in few minutes). And after that we went for a ride in Hagglund a�� the all-terrain vehicle. Pretty rough drive but we survived.

Few more days in South Island and we want to see the Arthura��s Pass, have a rest in Hanmer Springs hot pools and then back to North Island.
