Cape Palliser Lighthouse & Putangirua Pinnacles, NZ North Island Roadtrip Vlog Day 2

New Zealand Roadtrip Vlog Day 2

Day 2 of our 42-day road trip around the North Island of New Zealand started off from our accommodation in Greytown, Greyfriars Motel. We headed down to the town of Martinborough, and then made our way to Lake Ferry, out to Onoke Spit, and then across to Cape Palliser Lighthouse.

On the way back, we hiked up to the Putangirua Pinnacles where some scenes from Lord of the Rings were filmed. This is a ruggedly beautiful part of New Zealand and much to our surprise, we found some adorable seals and their pups chilling on the rocks by the road.

Sydney to Greytown, NZ North Island Roadtrip Vlog Day 1

New Zealand Roadtrip Vlog Day 1

Day 1 of our 42-day road trip around the North Island of New Zealand started off at Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel. We got a morning flight to Wellington, New Zealand where we arrived mid-afternoon. We picked up our hire car from Jucy Rentals and went to The Hop Garden for lunch. Finally, we made our way out of Wellington to Greytown via the Remutaka Pass. We stayed at Greyfriars Motel in a garden room, a lovely spot to be based out of for a few days!
