Oamaru

If you already at 21.00 clock goes to bed, one has to wonder not that you wake up at 4:00 clock and believed to be well rested. Since at this time still not too much going on, I forced myself to sleep again. Clock at 7:00 I was awakened by a screaming like a buzzard. I looked out the window and saw were four fairly large birds with strong beaks twisted in the process of editing our chairs.

I unsuccessfully tried to drive away from the windows. There was nothing else than in pajamas outside in the cold to go and they manually put to flight. This was only teilweise.Ich took the chair under the microscope and observed at two chairs damage. So I clicked it and wanted to run for Bush - toilet.

One mountain crow, as it turned out later adapted, probably not my behavior and followed me in a fast Hupf and with renewed shrieks. I turned and ran toward her. Now, finally, she used her wings and flew off for now. When I came back they were there, feasting on the neighbor's camper.

I had enough time being, dressed and made coffee. Making the coffee is used at such temperatures also help the campers to have a little less cold. Helene drank the coffee still warm under the blanket and also after they had refrigeration problems start.

We drove off again first, before we made the beds. This time to Mt Cook Village Resort, where we indulged in the hotel with a rippling music Continental Breakfast. Here I could then also upload the blog and then had the campers from the sun heats up nicely.

We drove out of the 55 km valley and defeated the route to Twizel. There, we went to the big battle scene from "Lord of the Rings", which is under the name "The Pelennor Fields" known. During the filming, which lasted around a month, the city found an amusing image. Costumed extras since they met at lunch or in the bars and tell them you heard about the course of the battle.

Heading Touriguide showed us the sudden attention to the Clay Cliffs. As the nice officer from the GPS device from a "must see", said we took the road and drove over a dirt road to the River. There we walked for about a kilometer and found ourselves in a strange valley with sandstone rocks and pointed towers. Since the country had to be crossed on private property, was a small box at a gate, which was fed by $ 5.

Then we drove on to the Elephant Rocks. This, as the name suggests, resemble some of the shape of elephants. You can climb it and you can see in very many stones not only elephants, but some other figures that arise in their own imagination.

In the background, everything was shut off. The reason was, as one could observe a backdrop of a stone, a city under construction. But not ordinary. It is a city of strip from the movie "Narnia". The shooting but were discontinued due to lack of money and so now only half the city is there. Film in containers and utensils are to wait for better times.

After having the film set, which probably constitutes the home of Aslan, had taken a closer look, we drove to our destination. Once in Oamaru, we enjoyed a hot shower first. We had after two nights camping wild sorely needed. It was also wiedermal time the laundry done.

At half past seven, we drove back to the yellow penguins to see that go here before sunset on land and climb up the steep hill to their young. Even sea lions playing in the water or lying lazily on the beach. Pingus Many were not, but the sunset and the fly past in formation water birds made this a special experience.

Then we went again to the city center and stopped at a proper restaurant. In addition to vegetables, fish and meat, there was also a right to the final Ristretto, as I had not had since the beginning of travel. Then we returned to the campsite and found that in spite of campers designed clothes dryer was not yet dry. So once more into the tumbler with it and now we wait until it is dry.
