Singapore

Off the plane at Singapore, we had 1 hour to board the next flight to Aukland on New Zealand Air, so our priority was to find the correct desk.
Not to difficult as it turned out, only about 3 desks out of the 20 position were open and the one I wanted had the queue.
Eventually we got to the front, now we didn't have a booking, the printer wasn't working and the computer was playing up and needed resetting.
Finally, we're on the system, when she asked for our NZeTA. This is the first time I had heard of it. As far as I was concerned, from the UK no visa is required, but it turns out a NZeTA is required. 
Se said we could get one, possibly in time, just had to apply online. She showed us the website on here phone and we completed the 2 NZeTAs, and 2 boarding cards in our mits we ran to gate A14 about a Kilometer from the check in desk.
The gate was closed, but a member of staff rushed us through and we were the last passengers to board that flight.
New Zealand here we come.

Milford Sound

We booked a boat trip around Milford Sound with Southern Discoveries for 2.30pm. We needed to be close by the night before and have plenty of petrol and provisions as ther is very little at the sound apart from parking and cruise docks. First we had to go through the Homer Tunnel, this closes at certain times during the day as it requires maintenance and it is only 1 way with traffic lights.  Fortunately our timing did not cause any problems.  Absolutely fantastic.

Bluff

The farthest southern point on South Island and the southern end of State Highway 1, the same road as the one we took from Reinga Point. We have driven the whole length 1403km. We have to go back almost the same again back to Aukland, but not via SH1. We had lunch at the Oyster Cove restaurant, very nice, but expensive, especially with the wine.
