[quote=@Rosalind] [@Jbcool] I travelled both islands and just fell in love with it. I cut my time in Australia short and went to NZ early, and so glad I did. I did a few extra places and it was amazing. Kaikoura and Rotorua where two of my favourites (although the stench did make me ill) and I was lucky enough to be in Waitangi for Waitangi day. And I slept through 4 earthquakes when in Christchurch, and was in the shower for one and didn't even notice. Fantastic country, and if I hadn't of had my son I'd have gone back and done more!
