The Road Not Taken

Another day in queenstown and i do feel the need to move on again.

I have now booked on the Intercity bus to Greymouth. This will take two days and the first stop will be Franz Josef where I missed out on a heli hike due to bad weather. The next day will take me to Greymouth for the sole purpose of catching the Tranzalpine train to Christchurch.

I plan to go rafting at Rangitata and then head up to Kaikoura. If I can successfully change my ticket to Oz then I will have one more week to travel allowing me to head up to the north island again and see Napier, Coromandel and The Bay of Islands. If I cannot get my ticket changed then I will stay around Christchurch and then fly back to Auckland before heading to Sydney.

It seems a lot to cram in to my last days in the country but it will keep me busy and rid me of my recent lazy spell. The time I have left in New Zealand is running out and I am sure it will be sad to leave. I am looking forward to Australia and perhaps relaxing a little more, taking shorter and more relaxed trips and spending money on activities only when absolutely necessary.

It will be good to be on the move again, staying one night and then moving on to the next town. That is how my journey in New Zealand began and that is how it seems it will finish. Aww, it is going to finish! Of that, I do not want to be reminded :0).
