A 12 year old's highlights of New Zealand

Here's my 12 year old son's report of his New Zealand highlights. Quite a few of them !

Looks like we've got a budding travel writer amongst us! Please tell your son that I thoroughly enjoyed his well written report and I envy his adventurous spirit (ah, youth).

I felt a bit sorry for poor old dad though, having to lug 10 liters of water...

That was great fun! Thanks so much for posting it. It looks like you went to the Maori concert at Te Puia; we enjoyed their performance when we were there.

I live in New Zealand and have only done about three or four of the things you did. What an amazing trip you will remember it for a long time,

Fabulous report, we'll be doing a number of these things in a few months (but not skydiving!) so I'm getting pretty excited.

Loved your report. We were in New Zealand for a month at the same time as you visited. We did many of the same things, but passed on the skydiving. You and your family are brave and will love the memories of travelling together, even jumping from a plane! New Zealand is an amazing country.
