The Scenic Southern Route

In and around New Zealand

To mark our fourth anniversary (that's four complete years as residents of New Zealand) we ventured out to the South of the South.  This was a short road trip hapharzardly planned and mostly we wandered stopping at sites that looked interesting (and sometimes were) and trying to see those must-sees recommended by others. The southern route takes you to the end of the South Island along some of incredibly beautiful coastline of the country.
