You've finally touched down in New Zealand! You quickly shake off your tiredness from the journey and make your own way to your accommodation. Starting out on New Regent Street, you admire the colourful houses that throw back to the colonial style. And you notice something else, too: in some places, the buildings look randomly scattered together! The rebuilding of Christchurch after the major 2011 earthquake is the chief reason for this mosaic-like cityscape, which gives off a totally special vibe. If you want to learn more, why not visit the Quake City Museum (optional, payable on site)? And if you don't want to miss a single stop in the city, then take a ride on the historic tram (optional, payable on site)! On the almost 50-minute ride, you'll pass through the entire city centre and can sit back and relax while the top must-sees whizz past. Plus, if you're lucky enough to be here at the weekend, you've just got to hit up the Farmer's Market in Riccarton Bush, which offers local specialities every Saturday – go on, savour the experience!
You grab your belongings and head off to meet your personal companion for the next few days: your fully equipped campervan! Now, nothing stands in the way of your road trip adventure. It's time to discover the breathtaking beauty of South Island and simply live day to day in true van-life style! First stop: Lake Tekapo. So, you put the pedal to the metal, turn up the music and speed off. The Inland Scenic Route definitely lives up to its name and offers a glimpse of what awaits. And then you see it: the lake shining in an unreal turquoise tone that you've never seen before, the majestic mountains rising up in the background and, right in the middle of the water, a green island that looks like a painting. In the evening, you spread out your cosy blanket and gaze up at the sky, because there's hardly any other place in the world where the stars twinkle as brightly as here! Recommended campsite: Lake Tekapo Motels and Holiday Park
