  1. With cars like those, anyone would think you were in Cuba, not New Zealand!
    You can really feel the party vibe from these photos, NZ is an incredible country that inspired me in so many ways! From glaciers to waterfalls to breathtaking lakes, I loved the nature aspect of the country but its great to see that thereĀ“s plenty to see and do in the cities and towns too!

    • Ahh Cuba, one day. Beach Hop is a fantastic event for classic car enthusiasts, every year hundreds of New Zealand’s classic cars and their owners get together. The scenery around Waihi, Whangamata and the Coromandel is pretty good too.
