New Zealand Hiatus

// February 6th, 2010 // Travel

So I’ll be taking a little trip to New Zealand for a couple week startingggggggg….now. Due to blustery weather here in Central VA, Delta has cancelled our flight. Fortunately, we are going to try to drive to Greensboro and meet my parents halfway where the weather is a little more cooperative and fly out from there. The next 48 hours will be spent in planes, trains and automobiles.

Here’s our rough itinerary:
- Explore Auckland
- HIke the Tongariro Crossing (Mt. Doom for the LOTR fans. I did not realize this until several weeks ago!)
- Explore Wellington and meet up with some friends
- Explore Christchurch
- Explore Queenstown
- Backpack the Routeburn Track
- Explore the Milford Sound
- Possibly do a glacier hike on Franz Josef or Fox Glacier

I’ll be taking lots of photos and video with my new Panasonic LX3 and 44.5gb of SDHC cards. So, if you don’t mind taking a break from reading about stages, I’ll give you some NZ blog love when I return after the 23rd.

  1. Jealous, I studied for 4 months in Hamilton, NZ. I did everything on your list, except the hike in the lower south island. It is an amazing country. I can’t wait to read your post.
