🇳🇿 New Zealand South Island
🚗 Why Drive Highway 6? Forget just Queenstown—NZ’s Highway 6 is a hidden masterpiece! 🌊⛰️ Half ocean, half mountain (like California’s Highway 1 or Oz’s Great Ocean Road… but more dramatic!). Towering peaks pierce the clouds—"giant" vibes when fog rolls in! ☁️🏔️ Christchurch → Greymouth = nonstop alpine eye candy (think: snow, mist, forests… Xinjiang vibes? 😂). 📸 Must-Stops 📍 Pancake Rocks (1hr north of Greymouth): 30-60 mins to hike + gawk at nature’s layered sculpture. 📍 Hokitika Gorge: 1hr visit: 20 mins to the Tiffany-blue swing bridge 💙 (photo ops galore!). ⚠️ Safety Tip Don’t drive after dark! Mountain fog = zero visibility. Stay overnight in Greymouth if needed. #NZRoadTrip #Highway6 #WestCoastNZ #PancakeRocks #HokitikaGorge
