    We arrived in Bluff on Saturday! What an amazing journey we had. Thank you for all your donations!

    We will keep the page live for another 3 weeks for any last donations to the charities. We are hugely appreciative of the on going support that we had along the way.

    Enjoying a well deserved break break in Stewart Island! :)
