New Plans....

The lovely people at Real Journeys are happy to let me switch my Milford Sound trip to the one leaving today.  So I've lost some money on cancelling the Routeburn track (although looking at the tops today, I can't find it in me to be sorry), but in actual fact I will gain a few days.

The new plan is to go down to Milford Sound this afternoon and do the overnight cruise, then I can spend a few more days making my way up the west coast rather than bombing it up like an insane person on Boxing Day.  So sad that I won't be waking up afloat on Christmas morning, but excited about my new options which are now Christmas in Wanaka.....Christmas at Arthur's Pass.....  Christmas on the beach in the Abel Tasman park.....   Hmmmm.  Christmas on the beach sounds good ;-)

Sandcastles anyone?
