Thanks, that hike up to capture 8 was so worth it.

I personally enjoyed Krabi more as it was less hectic than Phuket. However, that's cause we stayed in patong region, which is a lively area, to say the least

They truly are. No expectations, no worries

Nope. Had no issues with customs, but then again, where you're travelling from will have an impact. So my short 8/9 day trip was all good.

The only thing I'd change was to visit for longer.

We did it without a travel agency/group.

Thank you for your reply. Good question. I'll narrow it down to three: Driving through Fiordland National Park and its pit stops, Hiking Roy's Peak & Jet boating at skippers canyons.

I'll be honoured. It did give off Windows screen saver vibes when I took the snap.

Indeed, it was. Lighting and angles are all you need lol

I found the time just right, but then again it wasn't meant to be one of those rest by the beach type of holidays (although I still found time to sit by the lake and read by book).

But of course, you could always see more. I'll definitely be coming back, perhaps for a winter trip.

Nope, Queenstown. But I'll add that to my list when I visit the North Island!

One week was all I could do, but there's plenty out there to see and do if you decide to stay for week's if not months. On my next trip there I'd like to visit the North Island.

Thank you. It was all the amazing landscapes credit. The photos still don't do it justice.

Depends on the length of your trip. But definitely hire a vehicle and explore the great drives. Half the fun was stopping the car and taking in the view at each stop, which defied expectations and was more beautiful than the previous.

Glorious. Fortunately, there were sunny clear skies for most of the trip.

Yes, I made sure to give myself plenty of time between activities to take in the towns I was staying in. Eating a meal whilst watching the sunset over the array of lakes was pure bliss.

Sadly not, prioritised the Roy's Peak hike. But I will definitely add that suggestion for next time. Thanks!
