Awesome mate so jealous that your back out there having fun. i only spent a month in nz but i know its amazing... south island is just so beautiful and i think the most amazing things we saw were actually in transit looking out the window. We skydived lake wanaka, which u have got to do sometime in nz. But i think the highlight of our trip was walking up Mt tarankei in new plymouth (north island) when your up that way check it out. hardest thing i have ever done but such a good adventure. have a good one buddy
