My wife and I circumnavigated both Islands of New Zealand for our honeymoon. It took us almost one half of a year to accomplish. It was summer in the Northern Hemisphere which meant we biked New Zealand in their winter. We often thought of giving up as wind, rain and snow battered our minds and bodies. But just when we thought we could not pedal another inch, when we felt like we had nothing left to give, the sun would come out and reveal just exactly why we were there. For the pursuit of adventure, beauty, cuisine, excitement and a sense of being alive. It was a great honeymoon. One could not help but to learn much. Adventure makes you wiser, smarter, humbler, healthier, and truly gratified.
