T - 10 Days

In 10 days we will be in Australia. We have sold our van. Arranged to stay with family friends and visit a friend from Africa while in Perth. Have rented a car for 16 days to drive up the northwest coast. Booked swimming with whale sharks while in Coral Bay and planned much more along the journey. Before we leave we are really excited to stay with the family we were with during the earthquake in Christchurch and wrap up our time in Timaru. 
We look forward to posting pics and having many more travel stories over the next month or so.......
In the meantime, we have highlighted a map showing the approximate route we took around the two islands. We really did cover a lot of ground in the 5 months we were here. New Zealand truly is incredible and definitely worth a trip!
