A number of our friends have been asking where we are going to go in New Zealand and what we are planning to see. Our response at the moment is that we only have four 'fixed' items on our list. These are:
1. a night in a hotel on arrival in Auckland;
2. a campsite booked for the following night (so we can plan that day without having to worry about where we are staying) on the way to the Bay of Islands;
3. a ferry booking to take us across from North Island to South Island roughly half way through our trip (see below); and
4. a night in a hotel in Christchurch before we fly home the following day.
The rest of the time will be dependent upon what we see and where we are recommended by the locals to visit. We have an outline schedule (thank you Anne H for all your advice) but we expect this to alter as circumstances dictate. There will be a lot to see and, from what we can gather talking to people who have already done the trip, the one thing we are guaranteed to bring back is a list of places to see the next time we go!
We had an e-mail this week to confirm that the final instalment of the ferry fare had been paid, this was sent to us by Cruisey Pay(!), and we can now look forward to a three hour 'cruise' from Wellington to Picton.
We leave on Saturday, the taxi comes to collect us at 3.00 p.m., and will be away until 16th February. Keep an eye on this page as the entries will be a little more regular (hopefully)!
