Goodbye New Zealand, Hello Australia

Ah, the time has come to leave New Zealand tonight! After being here just shy of two months, it feels both good and bad to be leaving..

The aspects I liked about New Zealand were:

- Undoubtedly, the views & scenery
- Cafe/coffee culture in the cities, especially Dunedin's - best coffee you can get
- Escapeism - How, within a few hours drive, you can go from a busy city to snowy mountain bliss
- Ease of travel
- The adrenaline-fuelled activities
- The outstanding tourism organisation system

The things I didn't like were:

- The weather, at most times
- Intercity coach drivers
- How North island resembled England a little too much
- And of course.. bed bugs!

I'm really excited and curious to be heading for Oz, however, I do find it a little daunting due to the sheer size of the country. Let the next adventure roll on.. :)

Good luck to you both for your onward journey. We have been enlightened by your blogs and really enjoyed "following" you around NZ.

"See you" in Australia. I hope the bed bugs don't come with you.
