Over 1800 km traveled in 7 days. Our road trip was amazing and I am so glad we got to do it with Grandma and Papa. Grandma is always wanting to see and do everything there is on offer. Papa spoils the kids when he thinks no one is looking. Plus you can never have too much time with them. We saw so much of the South Island. The photos don't do it justice.
A few random facts about NZ for you. There are no mammals native to NZ except bats. All the other mammals were introduced over the years. They now trap rats and weasels to help control the population of them. Most bridges are one land. Houses have tin roofs. There are 140 glaciers in the Southern Alps. The Franz Josef and the Fox Glacier are the only 2 that reach the lower rainforest. The riverbeds were very low due to the drought conditions. It would be amazing to see them during the spring thaw full of rushing water.
