For our honeymoon we travelled to the other side of the world, 26 hours on a plane to New Zealand.
Starting out in Auckland on the North Island we picked-up our hired campervan and made our way in a meandering route through the North down to Wellington, took the ferry over the Cook Straights and then did a figure of 8 in the South Island before finishing in Christchurch.
I have to say this must have been the best three weeks of our lives - the scenery is spectacular, breathtaking and beautiful, the towns and cities sometimes quaint, sometimes vibrant and always freindly and welcoming.
For much of the time we were on our own and never saw a soul, like on the beach Marahau and on our walk through the Abel Tasman Rain Forest. I developed a love of green-lipped mussels and NZ Savvy wine, but didn't miss out on the local brews either!
