We bid farewell to our New Zealand guide, Robert Panzer this morning. He is an excellent guide to the South Island. We traveled 1560 miles with his expert driving up and over winding mountain roads (on the wrong side of the road). Although we covered a lot of miles, Robert knew the perfect spots to stop for photos and walks/hikes/tramps. He designed our trip so that each day and at almost every turn, our experience was better than the last. We enjoyed beautiful accommodations and delicious meals every day and night. Our hosts at each of these boutique hotels were wonderful and made us want to stay longer. If you’re looking for our travel blog see: sherwood2018.tumblr.com
