This is the same distance as driving:-

 

1 from Yong Peng to Bangkok and back,

2 or 150km longer than from Singapore to Ha Long (Vietnam),

3 or more than from Singapore to China / Vietnam border

4 or 50km more than from Guanzhou to Harbin !!! (I checked Google Map).... [thumbsup]

Yummy yummy yummy...

 

Also gotta eat fish and chips!

 

 

 

OK, noted. Roasted Lamb / Sheep!! [thumbsup]

 


You going return? Or flying into one and out of the other?

 

Up the south island through arthur's pass is very gorgeous...

 

You're probably going to the glaciers?

 

I drove up through the central north island, which was nice - stopped in each town on the way..

 

HAVE FUN!!

Fly in Auckland and departure from Christchurch, after Kaikoura whale/dolphin watching and deep sea fishing, shall be driving over to west coast Hokitika via Arthur Pass, The Road Trip boss, bro Chris Cameron told us there are 2 roads from east to west coast, we can choose either one.

More likely will drive over by Arthur Pass to enjoys the scenery.

Yep - there's two main roads, both are very very scenic.

 

Main point to remember, TAKE YOUR TIME.

 

When you look at the AA maps and travel times, it seems very slow, but in fact they're pretty accurate - by the time you enjoy the trip, stop and look and take photos it does take some time.

 

Do remember, that for roads like Arthur's Pass - a good average speed is like 70km/h - a lot of the time you cannot maintain 100.

 

I'm sure you'll have a blast!

 

Christchurch is my home-town!

Thank you for your above advises, I'll be renting 2 Toyota Rav4 from North to South, I feel safer to drive SUV on new routes because sitting high to see further, bigger tyres for good traction and 4X4 drive train.

Need my help sending 美 珍 香 肉 干 to your friends and relatives over at Christchurch ?

The Road Trip operator told me no need to apply IDP, our Singapore DL is good enough driving in NZ, may I double confirm with you [sweatdrop][rolleyes]

Confirmed - SG license is fine

 

No need to send anything...thanks for the offer!!

 

Driving an SUV - no worries, you're an experienced driver, but just another reminder - be careful of the C.O.G when cornering - there will be a lot of corners with tightening radius.

 

If you get the chance - visit the Cookie Time Factory outside of Christchurch - if you're a cookie monster (like me) this is heaven.

 

Not sure if you will be buying many supplies - but do note that supermarkets generally have a pretty resonable selection of wines and beers, some precooked food etc - and when you buy they will normally give you a petrol discount for the "attached" petrol kiosk (must be used on the same day)

 

Be sure to eat Pineapple Lumps from the sweet sectiona and sultana pasties and mallowpuffs from the biscuit section.

 

And now shut up----I'm getting homesick
