Having got over the elation of our first trip this year to SE Asia, then recovering from a mini-depression of being back home and finally resuming normality after a busy festive period we have been back at the planning table armed with an array of borrowed books - thank you Sally and Russell - and colourful maps. On this leg of our tour we intend to do all of the itinerary details and bookings ourselves rather than use a travel company, although when I say 'we' I largely mean Steve as the whole travel domain is one of his passions.
We shall commence our New Zealand trip on the 28th of January, flying British Airways to Singapore where we shall spend a few days discovering the delights of this old colonial province before heading on South to Sydney, Australia. We have found a great number of things to do in Sydney but will be hard pushed to fit them all in to 3 days. From here we shall carry on south to New Zealand's South Island where we explore for over 3 weeks before catching the ferry across to North Island for another 3 weeks. On our return journey home we will stop off for a couple of days in Hong Kong for a last blast of foreign culture (and warmth) before returning to England in late March.
With only a week to go and the packing beginning it is time to start getting excited...
