We didn't have much time in New Zealand. We started out in Auckland where Kieran, Jamesie and Mark showed us the sights and what the local beer does to you the next day! We made a quick trip through the north island, stopping at Lake Taupo and Wellington along the way. We also got to drive through Mordor!!
On the south island we rented a car and took off on a whirlwind tour of magnificent scenery. New Zealand is definitely a land of contrasts, we reckon it's a mix of Ireland and Norway. One minute we were looking at rolling hills and grazing cows, the next we were faced with snow capped mountains and jagged cliff faces. On the south island we visited Franz Josef glacier, Queenstown, Dunedin, Mount Cook (NZ's highest peak), Lake Tekapo, Methven and finally back to Christchurch for our flight to Hong Kong. We are still in Methven and are preparing for the final leg of the road trip. We haven't got much time to write this blog entry so here are a few pictures to keep you going until later!
