New Zealand Road Trip Day 1

Join us on our epic 4-day journey around the south island of New Zealand! On day 1 we ventured north from Christchurch to Blenheim, following the beautiful coastal highway through the rolling hills of Canterbury and into Marlborough wine country.

Shout out to Jucy Rental for making our road trip affordable and hassle free!

Although a lot of our day was spent in the car, we did make it to a vineyard called Wither Hills. The service was great and the wines were really nice. It was super relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful quietude of New Zealand summer.
Then we went to one of my new favourite places- Moa Brewery! If you're in New Zealand you'll see these beers around at bars and in supermarkets. They're good stuff. The brewery had a food truck and at least a dozen of their beers on tap. They had a few varieties in bottles as well. We sat in bean bag chairs and played bags (aka cornhole). Then it was on to Nelson where we stayed for the night.

We tried to go out in Nelson, we really did. But by the time we'd eaten we could barely stand up. So we went back to our hotel by 9 and fell asleep.

But all for the best because Day 2 was full of high adventure... and 8 more hours of driving. Check it out!
