  Louise couldn't convince Matthew to visit the Pacific islands on this trip so wanting to get some of the flavours in to tempt him next time!

  one of the great day hikes of the world. A bus to and from to ensure no tired legs trying to drive!

  https://mountainviewlodgesandspa.com/rooms/ Check out the Hobbit House- it is super sweet! Planning on staying here before and after doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.

• Kuala Lumpur Hotel

  One of our stop overs on the long flight!

  For the sake of our fledging marriage, we shall not be in a campervan. Car hire all the way.
