Going to New Zealand in January for two weeks. Gonna spend a week in both islands. There is so much to see that I am torn what route to take. Hoping someone has been before and can offer some tips on what to see. Thanks ahead of time.
Nope, but I hope to take a Nordhavn there some day.
I have a friend that goes for 6 weeks every year. Apparently the fishing there is amazing. He always has pics from both saltwater and fresh. It is on my to do list when I get time.
We just got back from the south island and since it was winter there the roads were wide open . We spent 7 days driving a "campervan" and loved every minute of it. The campervan is the way to go in my opinion because daylight does not dictate your day as much. When we went to Milford it was raining and the place was so cool with all the waterfalls but we wanted to see it in the sunshine so we decided to camp on the other side of the tunnel and go back the next day.
I would go back tomorrow. Enjoy your trip!!
Definitely report back on your experience OP. The people in that country, are reputed as being some of the most 'civilized' people on earth.
