another day traveling.....
after sleepin in the car for another countless night we woke to find we needed another tire, 2nd time in 2 weeks, not the best of luck so far with this rental.
currently we are on the north end of the south island after traveling 8 hours from the fox and franz joesph glaciers, which by the way were amazing.
so we head over to the north island in a few days, having thoughts of possibly changing my fiji trip and heading to hawaii early, will keep you posted on this.

cathedral caves, only accessible at low tide, hiked in thru this coastal rainforest, and explored for a hour or so, def worth a look if u n the area
