Week Of Freedom

After leaving Marama farm we had a week to travel up the west coast of the south island. We left Gore on the 3rd of April to head up into Fiordland NZ. We managed to do 2 hikes, one to Key Summit and one to Lake Marion both close to each other and moderately easy. Key Summit has a nice view of Lake Marion and were pretty hikes but nothing amazingly different than any thing else. We also drove to Milford Sound. It is very touristy with nothing going on, except cruises to see the plentiful wildlife. We did not take one of these cruises but did go on a board walk from a parking lot to a dock. This was pretty much what we did in Fiordland.
On the 6th of April we headed up to Mount Cook. While going up to Mount Cook we went through Queenstown where we did bungy jumping off a 43 meter high bridge (we have photos)! It was an excellent thrill and very smooth ride, we highly recommend it. While at Mount Cook we went on a hike in horrible weather and left later that day. For the last days we went up to Fox Glacier and drove all the way to the north tip of the south island were we are woofing.
