Happy Easter!!!
Helloooo New Zealand!!!
After spending an entire day at the airport running around to different terminals, we had a nice flight to NZ and arrived in Christchurch shortly after midnight. Poor Karina got stuck chatting to an older NZ man who went on and on about how much he loved NZ while I read my book. Finally finished the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series!!! So good!!
Anyways just a quick post saying we made it safely to NZ and begin our bus journey around the country tomorrow!
Tentative itinerary:
We start in Christchurch on the South island, then head up to Kaikoura, (lots of whales and seals), cross over to the north island to Wellington, Rotorua for some hot bubbling springs and natural geysers and volcanoes, Auckland tmrw, bay of islands for the wknd, then hopefully get a car mon-fri and do the coromandel harbor, lake Taupo, Matamata (Hobbiton...LOTR!), back to Rotorua, Waitomo Caves (blackwater rafting), tongariro crossing (hiking across volcanoes), Napier, back to Wellington, then cross the ocean back to the south island to pick up the bus again and go to Abel Tasman (kayaking a national park), Franz Josef (hike a glacier), Milford Sound, Stewart island, then end up in Queenstown for some end of trip partying and activities! We fly back to Auckland on the 28 and fly out on the 29...Exciting!
