OMG words!

Hi.

Well I got back from my little tour of the South Island last night, what a trip! I wanted to write this last night but fuck I was tired, I had been driving all day.

I started in Christchurch on Monday and headed towards Oamaru via Timaru. I spent the night in Oamaru and the next day I drove to Cromwell via Ranfurly. I stayed at an amazing place on Lake Dunstan called Pisa Range Lake Resort. From there I went to Clyde and then on to Roxburgh where I had one of the best meat pies I have ever tasted. From there I went to Gore, Invercargill and I finally made it to Bluff.

After spending the night in Bluff I headed to Balclutha, with a few hours to spare I headed south to Owaka so I could see the Pūrākaunui Falls. I then had to go back to Balclutha and then to Port Chalmers via Dunedin. Thursday night I stayed at a backpackers near Port Chalmers called Billy Browns, it is a farm house and the huge lounge was kitted out to look like a farm shed, I had the place to myself which included the whole hill! Friday was basically the big drive from Dunedin back to Christchurch.

So I am quite happy with my effort. This trip was 5 days, 1643 km and 11 rolls of film as well as some digi shots and video.

Cheers,

Matt
