It seems like for the past few years that every time we get near departure for a big trip, that pieces start to fall apart. I guess the positive spin on this is that if we were staying home that things could fall apart just as easily. Anyway, fingers crossed that this piece of bad news is the worst of it!
There was a wildfire on the South Island of New Zealand that has destroyed part of the track and bridges and other equipment of the TranzAlpine train.
We won't get any money back, but we will not have any other itinerary alterations except a bus for the TranzAlpine train. That Tranzalpine train and Hobbiton were the only reasons we were returning to New Zealand! Please keep Hobbiton in your thoughts for us!
We are starting our upcoming Down Under 2017 trip with a modified version of this Kensington Tour. We were happy enough with our Kensington Tour in Norway in 2015 that we are using them again to start this trip.
Departure day is getting close!
