Up the Coast

Hello all! A quick update of the last couple of days. After the dusky we are making our way up the west coast of the South Island. We stopped in Queenstown for a day/night and were lucky enough to be there for a reggae festival in the park celebrating Bob Marley's birthday. This is where we played the game of touch rgby in the park that David has some picutures of. The next day we took a gondola up to the top of a mountain where they have some luge runs that are kind of like go carting, which was a lot of fun. We drove out of queenstown for a couple of hours and camped for free by the side of the road. Yesterday we continued north, stopping at fox and franz-joseph glaciers. We stopped in a town called Greymouth, where we stayed at a purple hostel, it was very interesting. Today we are going to tour the local brewery and then continue north to Abel Tasman. I will keep you updated! Be well!--Mark
