You've covered a lot of ground in 3 weeks! I've been here nearly 7 weeks and haven't driven as far as you.Long holiday - about 3 weeks touring NZ, plus tops in Singapore and Bali.

In my 4.5 years there I did both islands twice each time in a British Motor taking 3 weeks each trip.You've covered a lot of ground in 3 weeks! I've been here nearly 7 weeks and haven't driven as far as you.
My excuse is I'm a Kiwi and I'm with my UK missus and my daughter's family and they've seen lots of it before.
Skipper's Canyon is great. Did it several times in my own car when I lived here but car hire companies refuse to cover you. The last time I drove over the Crown Range it wasn't sealed, so that was pretty challenging as well.In my 4.5 years there I did both islands twice each time in a British Motor taking 3 weeks each trip.
Skippers Canyon was my favourite near Queenstown.
With you on the speeding fines I got more there than any other place I've lived.Skipper's Canyon is great.

The next time I come, I will probably buy a car and sell it when I return to the UK. I think it will be cheaper over 2 months than hiring a car has proved to be.
The worst bit now is the punitive fines for even minor speed infringements. I got done for doing 110k in a 100k zone last year.
I thought that first picture was taken in B&W until I saw the Fiat.
Good effort!
My parking double is at it again , wonder whether his parking ticket folder is wider than mineParked up in Chelsea this evening
