Our amazing adventure in New Zealand is just days away and we're so incredibly excited. Having said that, hearing repeated reports about the horrible plane crash in France, a week away from our two-dozens hour flight to New Zealand is a bit stressful... .

Today I booked the following tours: 1. A tour to the famous Ruakuri cave, which is part of the Waitomo caves in the north island of New Zealand. 2. A zipline eco-tour of Waiheke island near Auckland. 3. A tour in Hobbiton - the movie set of the Shire in LOTR. These tours ought to be fun! :)

I actually found a much lower rate for the same car at a different Europcar branch, so I cancelled my original reservations (twice!) and re-booked the cars for the much lower rate. Yay! :) The savings would allow us to add another activity to our adventure. :)

I've changed our reservation and switched to a fancier hotel in Auckland, being the last city on our New Zealand adventure. The new hotel ought to give better value for money. Yay! :)

We're staying in Christchurch for another night, after completing a tour of the southern part of the south island. I managed to get an excellent rate for this newly built hotel (built after the horrible earthquake a couple of years ago).
