  Hey, You usually have about an hour or 2 to freshen up (depending on what activity your coming from) Sometimes you will be told by your TM that you won’t have time to change as you will go straight to dinner so they let you take a bag to leave on the bus to freshen up a little bit.. That only happened once in the USA after a baseball game, but none of us changed, we just went to dinner decked out in our baseball gear :P it’s the fun of contiki.. Just go with an open mind.. Enjoy :)

  Well to the point you are about to lose ya shit!! Literally!!! They have plenty of stops on long drives, but NZ longest drive is in the south island and they will give u plenty of stops along the way.. Just make sure, (cos this happened to me numerous times) that when u do stop u go to the loo, even if u don’t really need to go.. Cos sure enough you’ll buy a drink and something to eat then will need to go an hour into the trip!!! I don’t think NZ will be as full on as the grand southern in the USA, and as long as everything runs smoothly you’ll have time :)

  You will have quite a bit of time. The only time you may not is if you do the MIlford Sound Optional in QTown as it gets back fairly late (like 8.30) and we then had a Minus 5 bar optional so I think there may have been like 30 mins or so. I did lots of optional activities and found that I had plenty of time in each place. Also the places are a lot smaller than I thought they would be, most places you can walk easily to the bar, club, restaurant so if you do need a bit more time it is not an issue.
