My last day before I got on the plane, I spent some time in the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. In order to get here, I had to walk a lot and take some buses, and almost lost my wallet at a certain point! THAT. would have been bad. From my hostel, I got a $5 discount off the $27.50 price. This reserve was really adorable and well organized! A map lead you through the different types of animals that were sort of in safari style.. There was a whole different section of just farm animals, and the pig that I saw there must have been the ugliest creature I have ever seen in my life.

I also completed my magical trip by meeting a unicorn!

The two weeks of adventure that I had in New Zealand were probably the best two weeks of my life! Some places that I didn’t mention that I really would like to visit are: The Lost World waitomo cave adventures, Togariro Crossing and other Lord of the Rings locations, wwimming with seals in picton, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Fox Glacier Hiking, DunedIn, and Invercargill (Southern lights!!)

Hopefully I have a chance to return soon and explore more (:

Campervans don’t seem tooo expensive…
