U if for the Unknown.
Everything was such a big unknown when we left Australia. There was no certainty, nothing solid and all
sorts of potential roads to go down – some would be our choice, others would be
dictated to us by circumstance. It was a
little scary and possibly even reckless, but it has been exhilarating beyond
all expectations.
V is for Volcanoes and this area of the north island is one
of my favourites of all New Zealand.
These mammoth natural wonders rise nobly from the central plateau and
command your attention from hundreds of kilometres away. Their beauty is only equal to their mystique
and provide a range of activities from bushwalking to skiing in what can only
be described as a place of incredible power.
W is either for Wanaka or Wellington as they are both
deserving of a mention. Wellington has
always been the favourite of my New Zealand cities – full of charm and fascination
it won me over before it had even said “hello”.
Wanaka is a small town not far from Queenstown, but has yet to be tarred
with the hype of it bigger sister.
Nestled on an alpine lake with a backdrop of dramatic ranges it was
always going to be a favourite.
