Bridging the Gap

Official achievement authored by Bobby Allen.

Spread over two main land masses (and over 700 much smaller islands) the two main islands of New Zealand are separated by a 14 mile gap of challenging water known as The Cook Strait (no one in their right mind would be swimming that!)

Apart from flying between the islands there is also regular ferry services between the two islands.

The northern island, home to the cities of Auckland and Wellington (the Capital City) is famous for it's panoramic bays and crystal clear harbors, the southern island on the other hand is where you'll find snow capped mountains and breathtaking waterfalls.

You wanted to see volcanoes you say? Auckland to the north of the northern island has 22 volcanoes alone!

Take the short flight from Christchurch on the south island and head south and cross the short gap over the Cook Strait to the capital city of Wellington!
