A few links for background info:

All in all we did 800km in 2 days and came home with a big smile on our faces. We loved the ride and how comfortable is! There is no going back to 2 wheels now!
I spent 2 months in NZ on a Honeymoon about 18 years ago....almost didn't come back. Went from North tip of N. Island to South tip of S. Island. Hiking, Mountain Climbing, stomping around on a glacier, River Rapids, Bungee Jumping, even a terrifying helicopter trip thru a narrow canyon. The marriage didn't work out, but the trip was one of my best memories ever! Nice people and beautiful Country. Lucky You!
