Reached the end of the road on the South Island, then turned around and headed North again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

After the lovely cruise on Doubtful Sound, we had just a few more things to see on our list. We crossed over the Blackmount and entered the wild Southlands. Trees grow bent over from the wind, and the weather only gets worse the further you go into the upper latitudes. We were there on a lovely day, but I imagine it’s quite rough in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bluff we celebrated with oysters and cider at the Lands End restaurant, which was a bit overpriced but had great views and was protected from the wind. As promised, we played Heroes on our triumphant arrival at the end of the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
