Dream Team Drifters

Eking out our last few days of travelling in the big city

Basically, just us trying to sell the van

What it was like being in the city at the time

Stunning scenes of lakes, mountain, rivers, glaciers, and icebergs

Stargazing and hiking next to this stunning lake

A hunt in the museum and a very steep road

Mainly waterfalls and lighthouses

Deeper than a bight and wider than a fjord

A mix of relaxation and adventure in the southern capital

The lakes and mountains just get bigger and better

The title says it all, really

Mountain walks and beautiful rivers

Getting to know the locals in this tiny wild-west-style town

Wine tasting in the vineyards of Nelson and exploring Abel Tasman by boat

A dead battery in a McDonald’s carpark, no spaces to camp, and curling up in a motion-sickness-induced ball on the ferry

A look back at our eight-month time living in this great city

Two lighthouses and a lot of seals

An Art Deco city rebuilt from rubble

More geothermal activities, the biggest waterfall so far, and bad weather in the mountains

All things geothermal, with some tall trees thrown in for good measure

"Bagginses? What is a Bagginses, precious?"

Eating out and saving lives

An awesome hike in the heart of the Coromandel Peninsula

Bathing in hot springs at the beach and paying a visit to a world-famous cove
