In article , Charles Eggen
writes Multiple trips have brought me to say that, with careful planning, most areas of NZ can be experienced, if one has 2 months. That said, I do not mean that it will be in any great depth, but it will provide enough information that future visits can be made knowing how much depth you want to give to any specific area. Remember that you can't do everything and compromises will be needed, therefore I suggest that you drop Chatham Islands from your plans. My recommendations a -- snip snip -- Let me absorb this Charles and thanks a lot. Yes, the Chathams are the obvious ones to drop...but, I have to think. I found one item very interesting. Do you think I should devote 1 week to Wellington and its surroundings? What would you include in its surroundings? I know people in Wellington, too, but not as well as in Auckland, so I could stay there longer. I am pleased that all of you think that 10 weeks is doing the country justice. I have been to NZ before (16 years ago) as part of a RTW trip, but my main destination then was Australia, so I stuck to Auckland and Northland. I have been in Paihia before, but it rained a lot and didn't see much. (It was October). However, NZ made a big impression on me and have wanted to return ever since, but I knew it had to be two months at least and that's why I waited for so long to find the time and the money. -- JohnM |
