As we travel through New Zealand, we will do our best to send dispatches from the road. Updates may be sporadic, but we hope to keep everyone informed and excited about the progress of the trip.

We will also upload photographs to the Walkabout SmugMug account. Here, you can view pictures as a slideshow and buy those you like.

Here's the link to the New Zealand SmugMug page.

Also, you can check out the detailed itinerary for each day on the Walkabout New Zealand website.

The Long Haul





As of now, our nerves are shot.  Why, many of you may ask?  Well, let me briefly explain seeing as how dinner is now ready.  We have been riding in the car for nine and a half hours.  We left Nelson this morning around 10:00.  After walking around the city for a while and exploring the shops, we left on our journey (which was much longer than expected, might I add).  After many bathroom stops, scenic views, and stops for Troy to climb some rocks while the rest of us explored the surrounding area, we made it to our hostel in Arthur’s Pass.  So after a super long and slap-happy drive filled with exploration and Troy’s bothersome antics, we made it.  Now I am off to eat dinner, which, as you can imagine, is definitely at the top of my priority list right now. So, so long.

Regards,
Sarah
