New Zealand was last part of my "World 2010" trip around the world. I flew in via Melbourne to Auckland on March 2, 2010 from Hobart, Tasmania. This was my first time in the land of Kiwis and Fairy Tales I heard so much about. I spent entire month; 1st week on North and after crossing Cook Strait from Wellington to Pickton 3 weeks on fabled South Island. The landscape is simply stunning; no wonder Lord of the Rings was filmed here! The pace of life is slow, and country still very sparsely populated. There are several National Parks, each beautiful in its own way and worth exploring. Aoraki/Mt. Cook and Fiordland NP in particular left everlasting mark and evoked sense of wonder that makes life so much worth living!
The Kiwi section of Pockets of the World lists treks I did during this time. They are marked by pins on the map; you can follow the links by clicking on the pin. Enjoy your stay, and let me know what you think! |
