Looking back on this for inspiration as I just put the finishing touches on a trip to NZ for January 2022!
I hope it all works out Eric – we reminisce about this NZ trip very often since it was our last period of extended travel before COVID happened.
Fantastic post Ricky. Just one minor point – Auckland isn’t the capital, it’s Wellington at the south end of the North Island.
Thanks, I should know this. Largest city it is.
Great trip report Ricky! These kind of posts are actually my favourite to read. Looking forward to visiting NZ someday.
Great post, Ricky! I’m so glad you and Jessy enjoyed your time in New Zealand. This brought back wonderful memories of my own NZ road trip at this time last year. We had six weeks to explore both islands (four on the South Island and two on the North). Definitely do a Great Walk next time you go! We did the Kepler Track (which starts and finishes just outside of Te Anau) and it was spectacular. I’d love to go back for several months and tackle the other nine – although with hut accommodations costing double for non-Kiwis, I might need to pick just a few 🙂
The Kepler Track was the one we did by Lake Te Anau – I had forgotten the name so thanks for reminding me 🙂
There remains much to see and conquer in NZ. I’m jealous of the six weeks you spent there, that sounds amazing!
