New Zealand - Day 1: Driving up North

After picking up our Wicked van, we started our tour up North, along the coast. Luckily the weather forecast was terribly wrong and we had the most wonderful day to take in the beautiful surroundings.
The South Island - which is where we were - has less than 1mio. inhabitants, so all you really see is nature nature nature green green green and sheep.

A weed has been taking over many of the hills in NZ - luckily it blooms yellow, so it's quite pretty ;-)

Driving around you see many vast river beds like this - and cars seems to always drive into them, through the water, like it's nothing.

Green hills, blue sky.

Yeah! This is our Wicked van for the tour, olé! Loved the big sun screens at the front and the back.

Panorama.

Snowcovered mountains in the sun. Perfect.

Fisherman.

Us all happy when we reached the water for the first time.
