🎄Merry Christmas from New Zealand!🏖️
Adam and I have wanted to show New Zealand to Nolan and Luke for many years now, ever since we lived and travelled here 20 years ago. It’s been so special to finally make it happen. We are exploring the South Island of New Zealand (3 weeks total!)
So far on this trip we’ve flown into Christchurch and headed up the East Coast to Kaikoura, where we swam with Dusky Dolphins. Went Motueka and got in some rounds of golf, we then explored the stunningly beautiful Golden Bay area at the top of the South Island (Cape Farewell and Wharariki Beach), then we went kayaking and hiking in Abel Tasman (so tropical!), and then crossed over to the West Coast, where we are now - marveling at the rugged coastline and the famous Pancake Rocks.
Next, we’re driving toward Franz Josef to explore the incredible Franz Josef Glacier and Hokitika Gorge with its electric blue water. We might even squeeze in 9 holes of golf! 10 more days of our epic New Zealand vacation left and we are so excited for the many more adventures we’ll be having!
We are wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that you have a wonderful day with your loved ones! 🎄❤️
