Since the long hiatus, I have actually been to NZ twice, once to each island.
Feb 2013 was north island (another active volcano!) and a shit tonne of caches. It was the first major time my hip really ruined a trip for me. There was a lot of things we couldn't do cos I was in so much pain. I needed drugs to do pretty much and thing and there were things we had to take off the list all together cos of how much pain I was in. Was still a fun time, but my hip was not any fun at all.
December/Jan 2018 was the south island NZ trip. A trip mainly for Neil's birthday, so there was a lot of steam stuff and a few caches. A helicopter ride. My first test of new hip, in that respect, this trip was the opposite of the last one, 5 years previously. I was so pleased with how much I could do and the options being able to walk around gave the trip. It was great!
