New zealand trip summer 2018

We had an amazing trip exploring North & South New Zealand. There were so many highlights of our trip, Auckland and Hobbitton in the North, and Whale Watching in Kaikoura, Glowworm Caves in Charleston, Franz & Fox Glacier, Queenstown, and Milford Sound in the South.

We definitely want to go back some day and spend more time in the south island. On this trip I was 16 weeks pregnant, so we didn't schedule anytime for wine tasting. Traveling during my pregnancy was easy, I didn't have any issues with morning sickness or sleeping. My favorite wine is New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, and it was torture to be on vacation and not be able to drink it while I was there. NEXT TIME! We had a few hiccups on the trip, there was a road closure in Kaikora and we had to take a 7+ hour detour to our campsite. On the way we encountered a flat tire and we didn't get to our next RV campsite till midnight, we had to cancel our kayak tour which we were bummed about. The rest of the trip was fantastic! RV camping in New Zealand is such a great experience to see the entire island. Driving on the other side of the road takes some getting used to. We announced publicly on Facebook/Instagram to our friends, family, and coworkers that we are pregnant. It was one of the best vacations I could ever dream of we had a fantastic time!
