New Zealand

Back in Christchurch and awaiting my flight back to Auckland after seven weeks in this beautiful country. I have seen volcanoes and geysers, glaciers and fiords, glacial lakes and oceans, quiet bays and storming oceans, mountains and valleys. I have seen dolphins and seals, penguins and sea lions. I have travelled like a hippy in my hippie mobile, slept in a hut in the middle of nowhere, camped by a river miles from habitation, slept in an old railway carriage (I was allowed to!) and shared dormatories with fellow travellers all with their own tales to tell. I have met like minded people and eaten my way around a lot of fresh produce that New Zealand has to offer. I've never met a person who has a bad word to say about NZ and I am not going to be any different, it has been a great visit and I recommend it to anyone that enjoys the outdoors and great scenery.
