I have read many articles on the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand, not to mention the hospitality of the “Kiwi” themselves (the nickname of New Zealand), and since its all these positive reviews we decided to spend almost two months in this country, I’m sure that Christian worship ‘.
What awaits us? Spectacular scenery: white sand at Bay of Islands, the lush forests, glaciers, Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier (brrrrrrrr), and much more ….. we can not wait! I found it very interesting and full of information on the official website for tourism in New Zealand where there are numerous proposals for predetermined routes depending on the residence time and that ‘the proposed route more’ complete which will take inspiration from:

Day 2 Paihia – Kaitaia
Day 3 Kaitaia – Auckland
Day 4 Auckland – Waitomo Caves
Day 5 Waitomo Caves – Taupo
Day 6 Taupo – Palmerston North
Day 7 Palmerston North – Wellington

Day 14 Te Anau – Milford Sound
Day 15 Te Anau – Queenstown
Day 16 Queenstown – Franz Josef
Day 17 Franz Josef – Greymouth
Day 18 Greymouth – Christchurch
Also the site of Lonely Planet offers good ideas for itineraries, downloadable for free as a preview of the rail as the solution to their “pick & mix”: Getting starterd chapter of New Zealand.
This itinerary is only a basic idea as in our case we land in Christchurch and then fly away, to return to Australia, from Auckland, but at least we have a vague idea of the ride to do and, if the ritch and above ‘indicated as ideal for 18 days, with the time that we have available in this country are confident that we could “take it easy” and see many more ‘things enjoying it even more.
New Zealand is not only famous for its rare beauty, but also as the favorite destination for lovers of action and extreme sports where you do not miss the opportunity to safely ‘adding adrenaline to your trip. You can throw a plane at 4000 meters, go jet boating, rafting, but you can ‘also choose activities’ more ‘quiet as a walk on the glacier trekking or whale watching, in our case will depend on’ both your budget and … ‘+ an excuse because in reality’ the sport is not just my case, I am lazy by nature, by the courage that you do not think I have enough to experiment with acrobatics in the sky, but we’ll see.
Surely the trek is’ more ‘in our case will indeed’ essential part of our day to fully enjoy these beautiful natural landscapes of New Zealand and the Department of Conservation is a great source of inspiration with hundreds of nature trails and information on 14 national parks of this country and more ‘lists of hotels, campsites and “huts”, surrounded by the huts in the middle of nature, you see some pretty cool’ Backcountry Hut Pass.
We plan to arrive in New Zealand in mid April, I just hope it’s not too cold, but certainly coincide with the off-season anyway so we might reap some benefits (subsidized low-season discounts?) And I and ‘said New Zealand’s climate is fairly mild all year round, even in summer exceeds 23 degrees.
