While living in Australia, we made three trips to the beautiful and breathtaking country of New Zealand. For our first trip, we toured the South Island over Easter 2014. We flew in and out of Christchurch and made our way around to Mt. Cook, Queenstown, Te Anau and Franz Josef. A few months later we made it back for a long weekend of skiing in Queenstown.
We explored the North Island over Easter 2015. We flew in and out of Auckland with stops in Rotorua, Lake Taupo, Waitomo Caves and Hamilton. The North Island was a geothermal wonderland as the earth steamed and bubbled all around us.
