Around NZ in 90 days and 9000 kms

Dave Says:

Well, that’s it. It’s just six hours before we climb aboard the plane and head home. We’ll arrive in Seattle before we left Auckland although I’m sure it will feel as though we left NZ a week ago. In just short of both 90 days and 9000 kilometers I think we’ve just about completed everything. In fact, so much we’re having trouble remembering one town from another and one mountain from another. Here’s some interesting facts for you:

Number of kilometers driven: 8955
NZ$ spent on gas: 810
NZ$ spent on beer and wine: 675
Number of waterfalls seen: 21
Kilograms of supermarket muesli consumed: 12
Number of hours of internet cafe time bought: 25
Number of times “Hotel California” was heard in pubs, shops, cafes and on the radio: 2376
Number of sandfly bites: 65 bites per leg per person (plus assorted assaults on other body parts)
Number of photos taken: 1210
Number of photos in our galleries: 822
Therefore: Number of photos you were spared looking through: 388 (say “thank you”)

the facts go on and on…. look out for out ultimate top five lists in upcoming posts.

What did we learn? What did we discover? Well, that’s for a separate conversation. Lots to talk about over beers and campfires. In the meantime here’s more pictures.

See you in Seattle!!
