End of New Zealand - Auckland

So we have finsihed our zippy tour of New Zealand, we did over 3,500km in our spaceships, Spock and Mork. It was great to have the freedom of a car after relying on buses and trains for so long.

Highlights

  • Sleeping outside a school by mistake and being invited to sleep on the driveway of the headmistress and then invited in for a shower and a coffee, lovely people.
  • Beeing invited in by another New Zealand family, who were very kind and made us feel at home
  • Seeing Milford Sound and almost being trapped by an avalanche
  • Learning to Ski in a day
  • Walking on a glacier that is moving a metre a day
  • Going out with some lovely Canadians to an impromptu comedy night in Christchurch
  • Doing the worlds fastest wine tour in three hours on the way to the ferry
  • Doing NZ best museam Te Papa
  • Walking around a volcanic region and smelling the country air
  • Becoming a Cheif for the night and getting a Maori greeting... very scary
