Fifteen Days in New Zealand: Travel Journal with Free Itinerary & Stunning Pictures

Our trip to New Zealand was an unforgettable adventure, exploring both the South and North Islands. We started at Lake Tekapo, where the turquoise waters and the iconic Church of the Good Shepherd left us in awe. Next, we visited Mount Cook, enjoying breathtaking alpine views and glacier hikes. In Dunedin, we admired its Scottish heritage and wildlife along the Otago Peninsula. Heading north, Rotorua amazed us with its bubbling geothermal pools and Māori culture. Finally, we explored Auckland, from the scenic Mount Eden to the vibrant harborside. Each destination offered stunning landscapes and unique cultural experiences.
