A Very Long First Day

This is actually a two-part trip. Our first half is in New Zealand while the second half is in Fiji. This is our big yearly international trip with our friends, and this time we're exploring the South Pacific. We plan to backpack Routeburn Track, kayak Milford Sound and explore glowworm caves in Te Anau- all on the South Island. Then we head back to the North Island to visit Hobbiton, go wine tasting, attend a traditional Maori feast and check out geothermal spots. Then we're headed to Fiji to spend our time at two small resorts, Coralview and Mantaray.
