Lol, we're so bloody tired, but would do it all again...I can't get over the amount of money we spent over the course of the week.
Nelson was fantastic, wish we stayed longer there, 3 days wasnt enough, the 2 days in ChCh was too long and Nelson was easier to find our way around.
Hokitika was the only place where the temp got down to 15 degrees, until we got home anyway...lol
The two nights at the Sofitel Hotel in Queenstown was a massive treat, I'd go stay there again, I do have to recommend Stopforths Motor Inn in Hokitika though as well, gorgeous place. Brightwater motor Inn in Nelson was nice and clean....All stars on Bealey in Chch was our budget one, then we upgraded each accommodation from there.
Biggest highlight for me was the one hour on the K Jet in Queenstown, I bloody hate the water but would do it again, was fucking awesome.
Shantytown was alright, but love the old time photos we got done....In Nelson, theres a Founders Pioneer park which is abit like Shantytown, and then theres Natureland with these angry looking tiny monkeys....
Motueka was nice, but fucking hot....I think Noah and I found most of the crystal/new age shops in every place we went to lol.
Rubbing shoulders with Brian and Hannah Tamaki for 2 days was my amusing part of the trip, I kept my mouth shut about religion but Hannah was actually very nice to talk to, much to Noahs disgust.
Noah did the Zip Line on the day we were heading home, was so bloody windy that they even asked him if he would like to do it another time, but no, he was keen as mustard.
Before we left, I got a beach wave through my hair, eye brows and eye lashes tinted and eye lashes lifted, then in ChCh I got acrylic nails done, felt abit girly, however, I didnt think about my nails for work, the RF Gun is going to be difficult to use lol...
Next trip, we're going to go Kaikoura way instead of Lewis Pass to Nelson, then Queenstown again as Noah has been wanting to do sky diving ever since he did the bungy jumping last year.

The bird has started saying the kittens name, so that's pretty cute, Noah isn't going back to school this year, he's signed up to a Business management and admin course via the open Polytech so he can still work and do the course at the same time.
Pretty hot down here at the moment

Hope you all had a great celebration for that milestone.
Still hot here too, just about to make a smoothie for dinner...
We would love to do a road trip around the North Island hopefully next year, you'll have to give us some cool wee stops to go have a look at.
