Living the High Life in St Andrews

After Rotorua we took the looooooong well longish road south to Wellington at the bottom of North Island. It was pouring with rain all day and so we couldn’t see the mountain ranges either side of the road which are meant to be stunning. But we eventually ... Read more >
