Travelling in New Zealand

This is a quick post about our few days in New Zealand.

I will do a big description with photos once we get back to Singapore.

We've been to the Coromandel Peninsula, the Hot Water Beach, eaten pumpkin, scraped a car in Red Beach, stayed at Owera, saw an enormous Kauri tree and a 45 cm Weta (look it up in Wikipedia).

Walked on beaches, through forests and around the Waitangi Treaty grounds.

We went to hot springs and ended smelling of sulphur, and to a Maori village for a traditional meal.

We've driven more than 2000 kms, seen Mordor and Mount Doom, and are going to the South Island tomorrow.

New Zealand is STUNNING! The most spectacular scenery I have ever seen - more mountains than you can shake a stick at!

Sorry it's all so short this time.

Look after yourselves
