New Zealand - what to do?

[Neko]

Boat trip through Milford sound is amazing. There is a hostel right at Milford sound that is pretty nice. Call ahead to make sure there is room available though, especially if you don't want to bunk with other people. It's also a bonus if you can do the boat tour in the rain because tonnes of spontaneous waterfalls appear all over the place.

also renting a campervan from Britz is the nuts if you want to drive around a lot and not have to worry about where you're going to stay for the night.

Ferry ride from North to South island is also pretty sweet imo.
