054: A Memorable Week on the Road from Kaikōura to Aoraki
Your host, Abigail Hannah, shares a whirlwind week-long roadtrip from Kaikōura to Aoraki with only three days of annual leave! It was a packed trip - from whale watching in Kaikōura to exploring LOTR film sites to climbing 2,200 stairs before sunrise. This roadtrip was inspired by Abigail's cousins visiting from the UK and it was extra special to be able to share her favourite region in NZ, Aoraki, with them. The trip includes many kilometers of driving down gravel roads, and plenty of steps on the hiking trails. Listen to find out what Abigail's favourite moments were (hint: it involves more than one kea)! Thank you to Jetstar for sponsoring this episode.
