Winter Travels Phase IV: New Zealand Road Trip

TUESDAY, 10 FEBRUARY
INVERCARGILL, SOUTH ISLAND — NEW ZEALAND

A month or so ago we were getting ready to embark upon our voyage from Ushuaia, Argentina to the Ross Sea and beyond.  How time flies!  That phase of our travels is now a pleasant memory — still fresh in our minds, but a memory nonetheless.

Disembarking the good ship M/V Ortelius in Bluff, at the tippy-tip of New Zealand’s South Island, we made our way a short distance to Invercargill — more or less a provisioning stop for us, but if time permits, we plan to do some sightseeing here to kick-start our six-week road trip around the country.

From South to North, our road trip will take us from Invercargill to Auckland.
Our plan is fluid as we set off to explore New Zealand.

P.S.  By the way — we’re ‘ahead of the times’ … so to speak.  While it will still be the 10th where our ‘home’ is in Houston, Texas, we will have moved on to the 11th already (a 17 hour difference) by the time this posts.
