New Zealand Travel Bucket List

When we first got here to New Zealand nearly five months ago, Emmett and I made a "bucket list" of things that we hoped to do during our Working Holiday. We've added a few more things to our list as we've heard about them from other travelers, but for the most part it hasn't changed. We've actually done quite a few of these things already - each one with stars after it has been accomplished. As I make posts about each of these, I'll add links to them. Some of the items won't necessarily warrant their own post so I've included some pictures within this list.

Visit Waiheke Island.

Make our own personal hot tub at Hot Water Beach.

Find a paua shell.

Relax in some natural hot springs.
