Curio Bay - Te Anau

Well I got somewhere with my pestering Rob! He took us to Slope Point which is the southernmost point in the South Island of NZ! Bluff is actually the southernmost town! It was a lovely walk over farm land to another lighthouse and a sign saying 'Slope Point, Southernmost Point of South Island, NZ' and then so many miles to the equator and so many to the South Pole!

Our time was affected by this so we raced to Invercargill where we were an hour late picking this bloke up and got 10 minutes in the museum to grab lunch and look around! They had a Tuatara lizard which is one of the only animals that still survives from the dinosaur age!

There were about a million sheep along the way, lambing season has just been so there were loads of lambs as well! It was us girls at the back of the bus going 'aww' everytime we saw lambs! So quite a lot then!

We drove to MacKenzies something then, it was something to do with a bum so some of the guys pulled their trousers down and had their photos taken! Weird!

It was to Manapouri then where we picked up a couple who had been to Doubtful Sound! We hung out on Lake Manapouri for a while getting attacked by sandflies!

We drove straight to Te Anau then and got ourselves checked in to the hostel, went and did some food shopping and we all hung out at the hostel for the rest of the night!
