New Zealand has always been a place we've both wanted to go. Back in January we made plans to go without really knowing much about the country. Fortunately some friends of ours (Brian and Aaron) had travelled to Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti over New Years. We had dinner with them after they returned and based our trip on their recommendations: 2 days in Rotorua, 3 days in Nelson and 5 days in Queenstown.
Wednesday, February 25
The limo picked us up at 4:15pm for a 7pm flight to Auckland. SFO was empty so we breezed right through security and headed to the lounge to wait for the flight. Once on board we were upstairs on a 747. Air New Zealand has some of the nicest business class bed/seats we've seen, very comfy. After dinner we slept for 6 or 7 hours, waking just in time for breakfast and landing. We had about 3 hours to wait until our short (40 minute) flight to Rotorua.
