Time for a break

I went for a working holiday to New Zealand and ended up staying here for over nine months of that year after sampling Auckland and Wellington and the in-betweens. Might just be my experience but I thought it was such a friendly place. Do not just pass through, if you have the time, onto the Abel Tasman or Golden Bay. If you have been zooming around New Zealand constantly looking for your next high... this is the rest place.

Stay a week to restore the batteries. Stay at the Palace Backpackers (Rutherford Street) which is central, pretty, well looked after and will add colour to your travelling stories.

Enough. I miss it. Just enjoy and relax.
