New Zealand

Newest Review: ... interesting and now every time I watch the film I think of being there. Wellington - is New Zealands capital, it has an international airport and is where I got my Ferry from to go to the south Island. I didn't get to spend much time here but did walk up some steep hills to admire some spectacular views (remember to take a camera). The South Island I then took a ferry across to the south Island and stayed in Renwick. Here there are many vine yards and wine tasting is very popular. I cycled around the different vine yards tasting wine and enjoying the laid back New Zealand lifestyle. From here I traveled up to Abel Tasman National Park w... more

New Zealand is a beautiful country which is well worth the visit. I visited New Zealand two years ago and was over there for a month and have to say it was the best holiday I've ever had. I can't wait to go back for another visit. There are two main Islands (north and south) and I spent 2 weeks on the north island and two on the south.

But trust me, it is definitely worth it. We stayed in the youht hostel, think it was a yha, at the top of the hill and acclimatised (went and got really drunk). After a few more days of acclimitasing, we realised that we needed jobs to sustain us, so off we went to a ... Read the complete review

Kia-ora. Fished up by a Maori God, Maui, in never-never-land tales, New Zealand is paradise, in the South Pacific. The myth tells that he stepped all over bush-clad land; leaving crystal-clear lakes in his footsteps, glistening in cool-green native bush, amid massive, rugged mountains, some so virginal they stand today, unconquered by man. In the millions of years that this beautiful country has evolved it has seen primitive life, the Moriori, Maori and European settlement,less than 200 years ago - so it is a new country in civilised history. It's thought that the Maori arrived in their wakas (canoes) around 1000 years ago, from an ... Read the complete review
