Sydney to Greytown, NZ North Island Roadtrip Vlog Day 1

by
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!

Special Daily Offers on a Transpacific Cruise aboard Radiance of the Seas

Radiance of the Seas at Circular Quay

Heading off on Radiance of the Seas from Sydney to Honolulu in Hawaii or the reverse is usually between 17 and 19 days of cruising. When you are headed off for that long, it can be hard to gauge what’s a good deal to book beforehand, so I thought I’d share what the daily deals were on our 18-day transpacific cruise from Sydney to Hawaii, via Wellington and Picton in New Zealand and Papeete Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora in French Polynesia debarking in Honolulu. These change all the time, but it should give you a good idea of what to expect, particularly for things that don’t change price frequently, like the internet packages.
