Day 3: Join us at the Coromandel’s ridiculously beautiful Thames Butterfly and Orchid Garden! It’s part of our activity challenge in New Zealand’s Biggest Gap

About this video:

It’s day 3 on New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year where today’s activity is to go to the Thames Butterfly and Orchid Garden. The affordable activity holds many surprises as we wander around this tropical hot house abundant with beautifully-coloured butterflies and plants. You can find the Thames Butterfly and Orchid Garden just a short drive from Thames in the Dickson Holiday Park. It’s definitely worth checking out in the Coromandel region of New Zealand.

However, things don’t start quite so smoothly this morning when our campervan gets stuck in the mud. Backpacker problems, right? See how we get out of that mess in the video. Plus, we have a few campervan repairs to do so that we can continue on our backpacking trip around New Zealand by campervan!
