Living in Christchurch and using it as our base to explore the incredible country of New Zealand we were desperate to get out and experience the incredible scenery. Working and saving for our road trip around the country we were itching to explore, so we began searching for the best Christchurch walks and happened upon Rakaia Gorge. This incredible icy blue river carved into the rugged scenery of Canterbury with the snow-capped Mt Hutt in the background was all we had ever dreamt of when we first imagined our time in New Zealand. The Rakaia Gorge being only an hour from the city has to be the best day trip from Christchurch offering an incredible 10km hike through real alpine scenery so close to the city. This area is also known for the ski field at Mt Hutt but this is also one of the many other great things to do in Methven.

The Routeburn Track was the first of the Great 9 Walks we were hiking in 9 weeks and it's a pretty special track to start with. Even in bad weather, it's a stunning track that weaves through electric blue rivers, mountains, glaciers and ridges, offering spectacular views when the clouds part.
Brisbane is Australia's third-largest city and is a happening, thriving place with a vibrant cafe and outdoor scene. You will be enjoying Brisbane in the same way a local person might enjoy a free (but jam-packed) weekend in Brisbane. I've spent many months in Brisbane over the years, as my partner calls the city home. Brisbane is on a river, aptly named the Brisbane River. Much of the sights covered in this Brisbane itinerary take you along and around the river. Try staying in the Central Business District (CBD) in Brisbane. Staying in the CBD will give you the best access to all the main attractions. Suburbs just on the outskirts of the CBD but close enough to walk into the city are Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley. Brisbane hotels in these areas are usually cheaper than those in the CBD. For Airbnbs, New Farm is a great location. It is around a 30-minute walk to the CBD or a 10-minute public transportation ride. Getting around Brisbane city is relatively easy as most of the sights are within walking distance. To get around the central city area, the Brisbane City Council provides a free City Loop bus. Keep reading for the perfect 2 days in Brisbane itinerary!

Rotorua is a small town that lies in New Zealand’s north island, and is famously renowned for it’s incredible geothermal features and strong Maori culture. Rotorua sits on an active fault line, which results in a lot of volcanic activity in the form of geysers, sulphur pools, bubbling mud, and steam vents. The landscapes are quite beautiful, which makes Rotorua a must do for anyone visiting New Zealand in my opinion. Now you might not know but sulphur creates a very rotten eggy smell – so the town is a little bit whiffy. I personally do not mind the smell and you get used to it after a while! There are heaps of different experiences you can have in Rotorua to witness the geothermal activity. Here is a guide to some cool things to do. Polynesian Spa On the edge of Rotorua town lies Polynesian Spa – a tranquil lakefront geothermal spa surrounded by native New Zealand flora (It was voted one of the top ten spas in the world by Conde Nast Traveller magazine). The complex consists of a deluxe lake spa, […]
