Haere Ra...New Zealand

After 2800 km in the Yaris, we are sad to leave the South Island, but are already making plans to return to the North Island soon and continue our New Zealand adventure.

We are grateful for the many lovely experiences we have had this trip, that we have been healthy and fit, had great weather and beautifull scenery and some lovely sunshine.

Our last snow capped mountain right on the coastline near Kaikoura

Road works in progress after the landslides of Nov 2016 following the 7.8 magnitude earthquakes at Kiakoura

Containers used to hold up the hills.  The road only opened for day traffic in January 2018.

Autumn colours all but gone

Secluded coastline only 20 minutes north of Christchurch, so uncommercialised, one of the things we like about NZ

.

Our next adventure.....Cairns and Darwin NT.
