Final trip of the year! New Zealand has been one of the places on the top of my to-go list, and so glad we finally made it happen! I prefer holidays that are about 1.5 weeks (too long and I get travel fatigue), so this time we went for 9 nights, focusing on the South Island only, arriving in Christchurch then driving down, stopping by Tekapo and Wanaka before going to Queenstown where we flew back from.
