Dark Sky Project

This roadtrip takes you from Christchurch to Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook and back over Oamaru, exploring all the beautiful places along the way. My itinerary includes the best places to stop, activities, accommodation recommendations for every budget as well as recommendations on where to eat. All this with an interactive map, suitable on the phone so you can have it always with you. It is based on my own experiences as I have travelled the country in my van for 2 years.
