Below are some pictures from our New Zealand tour. New Zealand is a great country, the people are great, it is damn clean, very tourist friendly [if not excessively so] and just an all round good egg. How could you not be, really, with that fox Helen Clark in charge?

So, here's the run down:
Canberra to Melbourne
Mebourne to Auckland
Auckland to Christchuch
Train to Greymouth
Greymouth to Nelson
Nelson to Picton
Picton to Wellington on the Ferry
Wellington to Napier
Napier to Rotorua
Rotorua to Auckland
Back home to good ol' Melbourne

There are details in there, but I am too lazy to write them.

Maybe I will attempt to update this more this semester.... no promises though.
