Posted on September 18, 2014 by bronvoyage Standard Hi again , In a few more pays I am off to the South Island of New Zealand to have a bit of a scenic drive. I can only afford to go for 10 days as I have opted to not slum it. I don’t want to sleep under a quilt that looks like it was last washed back when I was in primary school. You know the ones, multi-coloured, quilted, makes you itch just looking at it. My wonderful mum is helping me pay for my Queenstown accommodation. Wait till you see the view! I know I have said it before but I am very blessed to have been born into my family. The assistance I am getting on that accommodation means I can do some very nice day tours. Another priority was, yep you guessed it, free unlimited WiFi. Can’t expect me to write my blog while drinking overpriced alcohol in a WiFi hot spot in the heart of Queenstown. I have really missed writing my blog and hope that my travels will give me plenty to write about. I am going with “the works” tickets on Air New Zealand. It will be a little weird boarding a flight and being “overseas” in 3 hours as opposed to the hours it takes to get to Europe but it will lovely. It will also be lovely to be overseas and understand the “lingo”. Choice bro! I’ve also purchased a NZ sim from a place called www.datago.co. it comes preloaded with 500 mb of data and 100 mins of NZ ph calls and unlimited texts in NZ that I can top up if need be. I shouldn’t need to though. It will be nice to land with a sim that won’t be roaming at big $$. I am super “paranoid” about wasting money on roaming data.That money is much better spent on having a memorable time. I will be staying in Lake Tekapo, Queenstown, two nights of undecided and two nights (probably) in Christchurch. I am going with minimal luggage, it is only 10 days after all. Percy may need to stay at home. I am sure he will appreciate the break. So lovely well travelled blog readers do you have any recommendations on what I should do/places to go while I am driving around the South Island of New Zealand?
