Two words; 'Amazing' and 'Country'! I have absolutely loved my time in the country that's probably the furthest from home on this trip. If anyone ever gets a chance to go to the land of ferns and kiwis I would urge them to go. I loved travelling around in our campervan Lady Luck and seeing beautiful mountains, forests and my first ever glacier plus I even stepped into the magical world of Hobbiton too.
The wildlife has been a big part of the visit and it wasn't planned that way which makes it even more amazing; I've swam with dusky dolphins, watched rare blue penguins come home from a days fishing, walked near fur seals and seen a wild kiwi wandering through a rare kauri forest at night and the bit that makes it all is that every one of those animals were 100% wild.
It's probably the first country where I can't really think of anything really bad happening like getting ill, lost, having bad weather etc so long may this luck continue into Australia and beyond!
The photo: In one part of Christchurch, after the earthquake, a shopping precinct was created out of those huge, metal shipping crates you see on massive ships. There are two storey clothes shops, little cafes and even this bank in an area called Re:Start.
