STEWART ISLAND (26/08/09 - 28/08/09)
Having endured the bumpiest boat trip we have had in a long time we arrived on Stewart Island, the most southerly part of New Zealand. Unfortunately the torrential rain kept us inside for the rest of the day but it was a good opportunity to catch up with the blog.
Our second day on the Island did not bring better weather- in fact it got worse. Lightning, thunder and large hailstones prevented us from doing anything other than a quick run to the local cafe for a coffee.
Some of the hailstones were as big as peas, these ones have melted a little.
On the third day the rain finally stopped for long enough (about an hour and a half) for us to go out for a short walk along the cliffs.
Just because the sun had come out for a bit didn't make it warm but we were just glad it had stopped raining for a while.
