How Was New Zealand?

How Was New Zealand?

A South Island SunsetNew Zealand had the best scenery of any of the countries on the trip, and this is where Ric would emigrate if he was ever fed up of Scotland-which is highly unlikely. The people were incredibly friendly, and the weather was quite similar to Scotland.

We had great surf on both the North and South Islands, but what set New Zealand apart from all of the other countries that we visited was the scenery. South Island, and especially the road going down the West coast is just unbelievable. If you're ever in that part of the world make sure that you go and see it. We'd had a great time, but were looking forward to some warm weather again, so with our suntan cream at the ready, we hopped on a plane to Fiji...
