This is how long it took us to travel in the south of southern island of New Zealand. The island is amazing!!!!
It's said there are 40 million sheeps and 4 million people in New Zealand while 3 million is leaving in northern and only 1 million in southern island. So... it was just us, our sleeper van and untouched nature. But let's start from the beginning.
Kiwis are so aware of the treasure they've got than when we arrived to Christchurch airport we had our trekking shoes cleaned in order to avoid any cross contamination (AMAZING).
We started our journey from Christchurch towards south, i.e. Fiordlands and after Catlins. As there are almost no cars on the roads you would expect driving to be very easy and smooth, but it wasn't. It was impossible for us to drive there as we had to stop almost every 100 metres in order to admire the nature and make some pictures. Once it even took us 2 hours to make a half an hour route.
There are no words to describe the place. Huge lakes looking almost like sea. Its strange colour, something like turquoise but it looked very unreal. Amazing glaciers with blue ice, mountains and never ending green hills with millions of sheeps! Wonderful!!!!!!
Hopefully the pictures will be uploaded shortly.
