New Zealand is a magnificently beautiful country and I truly marvel at the breath-taking beauty of God's creation. Driving around in the South Island is rather stress-free as there are very few cars on the road compared to North Island. However, there seems to be a lot of roadkill and it's best not to have a close-up view of them before lunch (or dinner)!
The credit card is widely accepted even at small food outlets and for small amounts, so there's no need to carry along a lot of cash.
I was impressed by the very clean public toilets. There were some places which had touch-free toilets where everything was automated and I didn't even have to turn on the tap.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here, and my daughter has decided that she would one day return to cycle around New Zealand.
I hope that all the information provided in this blog would be of help to you and would give you an idea of what to expect when you visit this country.
p.s Remember to apply sunblock when travelling around during summer.
