Highlights of New Zealand

In the beginning of December 2008 we arrived in New Zealand, with the plan to stay there for a couple of years. The first three months we travelled around this beautiful county by campervan. We started in Auckland and went all the way South via Wellington, Arthur’s Pass, the West Coast and the Milford Sound. Next we went up North again via the East Coast with an inland trip to Mount Cook and we finished at the Abel Tasman National Park. Back on the North Island we drove towards Auckland via Taranaki and the Tongariro National Park. These photos form a small selection of the pictures I made during this amazing trip.
