Published β€’


As casual and lazy travelers, they did not do much homework until one month before the traveling date. All they plan is deciding on South Island due to time constraint, booking on campervan (only manage to book for 12 days’ journey due to late booking and peak season), booking on car (for last 2 days as no campervan is available), deciding on South Island travel direction in counter clockwise direction, and buying domestic flight ticket from Auckland to Christchurch.❀


🌹The unforgettable moments:

βœ”The moment of waking up to the stunning view of lakes, mountains and seas

βœ”The moment gazing at the uncountable stars on the clear sky at night

βœ”The moment went against strong wind for the fascinating view of snowy mountains

βœ”The moment calculate the bathing time for the paid public shower

βœ”The moment bbq-ed at the campsite right in front of Lake Tekapo

βœ”The moment dumbfounded by the rainstorm and strong wind which managed to shake our campervan vigorously at the base of Mount Cook!

βœ”The moment waited for sunrise at Moeraki boulders

βœ”The moment had the pride to meet Peter Aldour, the founder of Geraldine Observatory out of our expectation!

Thanks South Island, for giving such unforgettable journey during these 14 days journey!! ***********************************************
