Escaping the English Winter In New Zealand

As the end of my work year approached I realised that I still had a whole load of annual leave to use up so I thought what better way to use it than to fly down to New Zealand to visit my sister and get some much needed sun.

I booked up a four week trip and decided to split it into three sections: one week or so around Auckland catching up with the family, eight days on a tour up the west coast of the South Island and then and the remaing time doing a bit of sailing and sun bathing.
