Ahh the fresh air, the infrastructure, the drinkable tap water, the organization, the traffic laws, the quiet, the views, the mountains!
We aren't going to lie... it was quiet a relief to finally be out of the crazy, overpopulated, chaotic world that is Asia, and be back in the western world with its cleanliness and order.
After 55 hours of airports and air travel we were sick and tired but our flight over New Zealand was amazing. From our window we could see Auckland and Egmont Volcano, the vast farmland and the mountains of the south island. Then we flew low into Queenstown down the valley flanked by the Remarkables Mountains on one side and lake Wakatipu at the far end. At the airport we were not hassled by taxis or hotel scouts just easy, unbiased advice from the information desk...what a breath of fresh air!
