Re: New Zealand

[(Anonymous)]

I'm guessing you'll be flying into Auckland, so North Island is a good place to start. If you have time, Cape Reinga is a gorgeous sweep of white sand beach that's the northernmost tip of NZ. The Maori believed that this is where spirits of the dead departed for the underworld:

Whakarewarewa is a geothermal park in Rotorua with geysers and hot springs, and also a chance to look at traditional Maori buildings and ceremonies:

South Island has beautiful coastline and parks in the northern end, as well as lots of wineries. The west coast is a great drive, and you can see Franz Josep and/or Fox Glacier. Further down the west coast is Milford Sound (boat tours in the fjords and dolphin-watching), Queenstown and Fiordland National Park. At the southern tip is the Catlins area, which has lots of bays and beaches with sea lions, plus Stewart Island which is a bird sanctuary.

The good part is that there will be awesome landscapes wherever you go. I highly recommend renting a car and driving if you can. Fill up your tank at all times because there isn't much between cities escape for beautiful countryside and lots of sheep. Hotels in NZ are actually really nice, much homier than in the U.S. and people are super friendly and laid back. If you haven't done so already, watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy to scope out possible places to visit, I'm sure there are guides online to tell where what was filmed where and the scenery is incredible.
