So the Grand Road Trip of 2016 has begun.
During the next six months I will be travel from New Zealand up to Mongolia and back.
It will be a roller coaster adventure filled with beautiful scenery, diverse cultures, meeting new people, trying new foods and go wherever your heart desires to.
The adventure started last Thursday when I finished my job in Franz Josef Glacier. My friend Lotti and me left our little home away from home behind after working here for the last three months.
Destination : Christchurch !
A lot of driving on the first day but we had places to go still. The route went from the gloomy roads of the West Coast over the majestic surrounding of Arthurs Pass down to the meadows of Canterbury.
There we picked up our missing member of the new tripod and set course to Lake Tekapo.
A little after sunset we arrived at our campground at Lake Mc Gregor. We put down our tent for our first night camping. While setting up our tent we got attacked by a swarm of mosquitos. We dived into our tent and fell quickly asleep.
