Over the Past Few Days...

Thankfully the only time we have had to use this sign, is for this photo!
We have been on the road and making miles for the past few days so I'll give you a brief but fulfilling update on what we've been up to.

From Milford Sound we made it to the south of the south island, here we literally bumped into a guy we met on the plane from Vancouver. We stayed with him for a couple nights and he showed us the small town of Bluff.
The end of Motorway 1 and basically the bottom of New Zealand.
From Bluff we went along the coast and battled with wind and rain storms to make it to Dunedin. Once in Dunedin we managed to outthink the rain and stay indoors at The Dunedin Ice Stadium, The Speights Brewery and the Moana Pool. We met a pair of nice german girls who spent some time with us and stole all of our Tim-Tam's! Joking... they stole some.
Like a kid in a candy store!
Wild Seals! BAM!
From Dunedin it was north and inland as we went to Mount Cook to battle with more rain, but as we left the sun came out to play. We made a long and heartfelt decision (by flipping a coin) to trek back north to the Able Tasman Park before we go to Christchurch. Not before stocking up in Timaru where we currently reside.
Hopefully this means that the rain is done... forever!

Sorry for the short post, but I am short on time and so far behind, I hope this will suffice.

Lates, Nate
