I have actually just got back from doing the south island, and will only be doing the north island part of the tour with you. Unfortunately with work i can’t take enough time off to do the whole county at once so i’ve done it in half’s.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the country now that i’ve had a taste. I’m trying to work on my bikini body now because i think there will be a lot of swimming.- 0 people like this

once i get new zealand done i’m setting my sights on europe so you’ll have to tell me all the things to do.
the south island was great, you can’t even imagine how beautiful the landscape will be. i did all the south so yes that included queenstown, i did the kawarau bungy, a little scary but i’m so glad i did it and the shotover jet. heaps of people did skydiving which i’m now wishing i had of done. i would say if you can afford it, do everything you want to do- 0 people like this

I got back from new zealand mid may after spending 2 weeks there going around the south island, so i’m going to be just doing the north island part of your tour. I’m going to arrive in nz on the 27th i think the flight arrives about midday.

You’re in Bendigo Jess….. definately a small world! I’’’ be 25 when the trip’s on. I’m flying out on the 27th as well, and staying on for an extra 2 nights at the end. So I’m flying out on the 13th of Jan. Soudns like there’ll be a few Vics on this trip.
