Ask for a Latte in NZ and you have a choice of cup or bowl, bonza! A6 inch wide soup bowl of coffee in the morning is enough to make you jump for hours, oh god no I can hear Mrs Fogg scream!

So all fuelled up and it’s off to Geraldine via Twizle for our last evening (boo hoo). Tomorrow we drop the car back to Christchurch airport for our internal flight at 6pm NZ time, before the long haul. Still 48 hours to kill, Geraldine, Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo Sanctuary for the Stars here we come.
