I’m back from my jaunt up to Golden Bay and back. I’m preparing a post on the trip with lots of photos but it’ll be another day or so before I publish it.
Until then, here’s my routing for those of you who know New Zealand’s South Island.
Northbound (January 2nd):
Christchurch > Waipara > Springs Junction > Murchison > Motupiko > Motueka > Takaka.
Eastbound (January 5th):
Takaka > Motueka > Richmond > Nelson > Havelock > Picton.
Southbound (January 6th):
Picton > Blenheim > Kaikoura > Cheviot > Gore Bay > Waipara > Christchurch.
– more to come on this trip soon.
