This week I booked some vacation time over the christmas holidays- Dec 24th to Jan 10th . Michell has the time booked off as well and now we have the tough decision of figuring out what we are going to do. We’ve come up with a couple of options and I am tossing it out to the public. If you have a suggestion please leave a comment otherwise pick one of the options I have listed and mention why maybe… thanks!
a) Sea kayaking the Marlborough Sounds
b) Tramping back country

I don’t have too many plans, I’m big on hiking and camping and I’ve heard there’s lots of that to be done in NZ. I’m basically winging it from when I land in Auckland.

Hey Kendra,
there is no shortage of great hiking in NZ. Check out this site as it has heaps of info on hikes and camping http://www.doc.govt.nz/
Do you plan on getting a car? It would be a lot easier to get to some spots that are off the beaten track.
Cheers,
Mike
