The last weekend in New Zealand has drawn to a close, and it was EPIC! Not quite as full of death-defying feats, this weekend carried me ALL over the south island of New Zealand. I was curious just how far we traveled, so I decided to look at a map to see. Here's a picture I've drawn up just to show you the scale of what we accomplished! It is INCREDIBLE how very far we drove this weekend! I can now say that I've traveled across all of south island NZ! (If you remember, the first weekend, I traveled across the top portion of the south island.) I still don't know exactly how many kilometers we traveled but I do know it was in the thousands!
Our trusty chariot this weekend was an old van and a small sedan. The van literally gave the impression that it was falling apart. It had moss growing on the window crevices and gave off a horrible black exhaust whenever it climbed any manner of a hill. I believe that the dashboard dials even bottomed out a few miles outside of Christchurch the day we returned it! But fortunately, thankfully, the van made it the entire weekend!
The weekend was so much fun, and full of BEAUTIFUL scenery. After all, they did film Edoras in the countryside we drove through! I will describe all that in a later blog, but for now enjoy the map!
