We left home on the 28th February and were back home on April 22nd. This is our day by day story. I have also included a short video with the following locations, Driving Creek railway built by Barry Brickell. We visited during cyclone. Rosemary on a zip wire at Rotorua Canopy Adventures. The hot steaming pools at Wai-O-Tapu A trip on the Taieri Gorge Railway from Dunedin, and of course some Royal Albatross chicks. Fur Seals from Nugget Point and Doubtful sound.
