Huge thanks to Errol Hunt for signing me up (again), and the in-house Lonely Planet staff who schmoozed this book through production. Humongous gratitude to my tireless, witty and professional co-authors Sarah, Peter, Brett and Lee who infused this book with humour and local low-down. Most of all, thank you Meg, Ione and Remy for holding the fort while I was away. Brett Atkinson Thanks to all of the i-site, DOC and information centre staff who patiently answered all my questions. Cheers to the clever craft brewers of New Zealand for sustenance on the road, and to Carol for support on occasional forays to offshore islands. Thanks to my fellow authors, the most professional and wittiest bunch one could aspire to work with, and huge thanks and friendship to the mighty Errol Hunt. Sarah Bennett & Lee Slater Thanks to everyone who helped us on the road, including RTO and visitor information centre staff, tourism operators and travellers. Special thanks to DOC staff, especially Penny McIntosh and Katrina Henderson. Big ups to everyone in-house at Lonely Planet, and to our fellow authors Brett, Charles and Peter. Thanks also to Sarah Ewing. To all who provided a park for our camper, a fridge for the flagon, and even a feed of kaimoana on occasion: arohanui, e hoa ma.
