After been on the road for a while we realised we had been closer than we thought to where we were headed, which was called Milford Sound. Otherwise known as Fiordland, which is on the south west coast in the middle of nowhere. The road only leads to this place and you need plenty of fuel to get there and back, as there is no petrol station once you arrive. The route was through mountains and winding roads, one of which had a tunnel cut directly through a mountai...

Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand and our final stop on the North Island. The drive here had been uneventful but quite a good one with a coast road resembling the Great Ocean Road in OZ but no way near as long. At this point of the trip we were a bit behind on our blogs along other various internet stuff, as well as not yet having booked the ferry to the South Island. In view of this we scrapped the rest of the day in favour of getting to a camp site ea...
