We have made it to New Zealand! 😎

Our journey to New Zealand was long and daunting but went very smoothly. We landed bright and early at 05:00am New Zealand time (which is midnight in Bali, meaning we hadn't slept a minute on the flight). In an attempt to counter the increasingly overwhelming tiredness we had a couple of flat whites and some cheese toasties while we waited for our car hire place to open. After collecting our little, slightly dented Kia we set off to drive to our first accommodation round about 3 hours away in the Waikato Region near Whitianga.
An hour into the car journey we stopped for a short hike through a beautiful forest with some nice views along the way.
Finished with our little exercise stop we continued driving until we had to stop under in the shade of a tree near the beach to take a brief power nap. As stunning as the cliffs we drove along were, we didn't exactly want to crash down them.
Having slightly recovered, Will somehow found the energy to drive us all the way to our tiny house (first accommodation) and we somehow even managed to pick up some groceries along the way.
When arrived it was too late for a nap and too early to go to on sleep so to finish us off completely we went on a short run down to the nearby beach and back. Before finally allowing ourselves to collapse in bed we enjoyed a delicious BBQ with a view.Read more
