I'm planning a Tour of New Zealand for part of my gap year, and I was wondering if anybody on here has ever done any cycling there? I have a friend in kekerengu (south island, east coast), one in Taupo and another in Auckland, so the plan is to join the dots as it were. I'll need to stop in more places than that, and I don't want to miss anything that is worth a few days detour as I doubt I'll be in NZ again for years. Also as money will be tight, if anybody has a friend or relative that wouldn't mind giving me somewhere to sleep and shower for a night, or even a job for a couple of weeks that'd be extremely helpful! This will also be my first solo tour, and my second ever tour, so any advice would be appreciated!
Also, I am planning on buying a bike on arrival and selling on departure... is this a good idea?
Another thought is that I could also fly over to Australia and do a little bit of cycling there, but I have no contacts so any thoughts at all are welcome on that front! Thanks in advance!
