After leaving Tally Ho we had a few days to get ourselves up to the start of the Milford Track which gave us just enough time to have a bit of a mooch round the southern tip of NZ's South Island. First stop were the excellently named Nugget View motel and Kaka point in the Catlins, home of seal colonies, penguins and a v. nice lighthouse.
Just down the road at Papatowai is one of NZ's hidden gems - the Lost Gypsy Gallery and Winding Thoughts Theatre of sorts. Tucked away in an old green solar powered housebus at the side of the road is inventor Blair Somerville's wacky wonderland - a treasure trove of wind-up gurgling sea shells, bicycle powered televisions and other curiosities made of discarded bits of junk and jumble. It's hard to describe why this place is so excellent but these videos might give a bit more of a flavour...
