A tasty beer in the remoteness of Milford Sound
Three Boys IPA
Stop #19: Milford Sound
Simply put, Milford Sound was gorgeous. Looking back, I feel very lucky that we were able to experience it the way we did. Most tourists go on day trips from Queenstown, where they ride a tour bus for 4 hours, take a 90 minute boat cruise, then ride back for another 4 hours. This leaves …
Stop #18: Te Anau
We left Queenstown with a high level of excitement, knowing that some of New Zealand’s most beautiful countryside lay ahead of us. We were on our way to Milford Sound, and although the destination itself was renowned for its beauty, the actual journey there was just as jaw-dropping. Due to its popularity and lack of …
Stop #17: Queenstown
Queenstown is a short drive away from Wanaka, situated right in the centre of New Zealand’s mountain playground.

The Hairy Bastard
A Hairy Bastard for a hairy bastard
Stop #16: Wanaka
Wanaka, the first city on what I’ll call the “Beautiful Mountainous Region of New Zealand” chapter of our journey. We had already seen and drove through the mountains, however this town really felt like a gateway to the area. We didn’t take many photos of the town itself, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t picturesque. …
Fox Glacier, New Zealand
Another holiday park, another shoebox accomodation, another perfect place to get some work done.
Stop #15: Fox Glacier

Stop #14: Westport
We tried driving away from the rainy weather, and were somewhat successful.
Stop #13: Wharariki
Famous for its Windows Lock Screen, this place is also known as being the Eyes of the Kiwi (find it on a map and you’ll see).
