Thursday - Start of Trip I finished work at 5pm and headed home to pack as we had to leave for 6pm. Kym took us to the airport in the rush hour traffic.

Luckily we didn't get weighed on check-in. We grabbed a bite to eat before boarding the plane. It only took 45 minutes and we were in Wellington. T...

After a 10 minute van drive we arrived in a small field in the Paparoa National Park. Where our knowledgeable and engeretic guide co...

The weather report for today was not that good, so Stevie and I decided to venture down to the west coast to see Pancake rock. A tourist attraction that my sister had told me about the night before. On the way there down highway 6 we came across New Zealand's longest swing bridge. The prices were abit expensive so I decided to haggle on the price.
