2007 New Zealand
Two months, two islands, 1 campervan - Christchurch to Auckland. Decided a campervan would be the best way to see New Zealand since it gives us total flexibility. Made a general plan allowing us to simply see how far we get each day; no need to make reservations ahead of time. Chose February-March, which is late summer/early fall. Figured things would not be as crowded since students are back in school. Excited to explore this country known for its natural beauty.
