Dear all,
Hope you are all well. New Zealand has been treating us well. Once we left Queenstown we headed over to the east coast, where the temperature was much more comfortable (being above zero!!) We headed over to Oamaru to see the boulders that have been created into near perfect spheres.

From here we headed up the east coast back to Picton and back over to the north island. On reaching the north island we headed up towards Lake Taupo where we enjoyed some naturally heated hot spring pools. Before heading up to the Coramandel coast.

Again another stunning part of the country and so stunning that Stu decided to propose to Laura! Fortunately she said yes. We then headed back to Auckland where Claire had a surprise for us, a meal in the revolving restaurant in the sky tower. Sky tower is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere overlooking Auckland. The food was magnificent and a great surprise. Thank you Claire and Paul for making an already special day just awesome!!!

We have now had a great weekend chilling in Auckland and sorting bits and bobs out ready to return to Ocean Lady this week.

Hope everyone at home is well,
Love Stu and Laura xxx
