North Island, New Zealand
The second half of our New Zealand trip focused on the North Island where we enjoyed acclimating back to seeing more people and proper highways. That being said, this half certainly did not hold back on the adventure! I am so pleased with how this half of the trip turned out and would not change a thing.
