All finished, then. Three and a half weeks in New Zealand really isn’t enough, but we gave it a decent stab, clambering over glaciers, flying in terrifyingly small planes, and jumping out of them. We took nearly two thousand pictures: see the best of them by clicking here.
Three weeks to visit New Zealand is not enough, but we gave it a pretty good shot. On our last day we rolled down the steepest street in the world, regarded penguins, and visited New Zealand’s tallest peak. Click here to see why we’re already planning a return trip.
Our crampons safely back in their boxes, we leave the Fox Glacier and head to New Zealand’s tourist mecca, Queenstown. Ahead of us: a day of the best roads the world has to offer. Click here for more.
We enjoy some thoroughly cold camping on New Zealand’s west coast, and go hiking over a glacier. See how many ankles we broke by clicking here.
We head to one of New Zealand’s most famous ski resorts, and monopolise a friend’s house in the name of getting out of our tent. Click here to see how we got on.
It’s a little known fact that if you visit New Zealand and try to leave without going sky-diving, they shoot you at the airport. That’s a FACT. So we - voluntarily - strapped ourselves to professional maniacs and discovered just how much damage you can do from twelve thousand feet. Click here to find out.
Ever seen a rabbit being shaved? We hadn’t either until we went to Waitomo. Also: we give abseiling a try not once, but twice, in the name of glowworm spotting. Click here to see if it gets less scary the second time.
We head north from Auckland, stopping for Brobdingnagian scones and a tree museum. Click here to see if Joni Mitchell is a reliable source for admission prices, and to find out what’s so interesting about a flag pole.
After three months and three thousand kilometres, we get out of Australia and head to the world’s most under-rated country. Ahead of us, a knackered rental car with dodgy brakes, conspiracy-theorists and enough film locations to sink a battleship. Click here to see how we got on.
