cities, with many English influences clearly visible. Spend the

Square, Law Courts, Provincial Chambers, Bridge of Remembrance,
Museum, Arts Center, Mona Vale, Sumner Beachfront, Cave Rock, Port
Hills and Lyttelton. An optional visit to the International

In the geological sense, New Zealand has
had a colorful past. The ice age carved the exquisite fretwork of Fiordland
and the Marlborough Sounds, huge tectonic forces pushed up the Southern Alps
and volcanism on a fearsome scale shaped (and continues to shape) much of
the North Island. The result of all this action is New Zealand tourist
attractions scenery to die for — a landscape jam-packed with interest.

New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific ocean, between latitude 34'S
and 47'S. The country runs roughly north-south with mountain ranges down
much of its length. Its two main islands cover 266,200 sq km (103,735 sq
miles), about the size of Japan or California and slightly larger than Great
Britain.
Comparable in size and/or shape to Great Britain, Colorado and Japan, New
Zealand has a population of only 4 million - making it one of the world's
least crowded countries. It is a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation
and relaxation as well as a playground for thrillseekers and adventurers. A
temperate climate with relatively small seasonal variation makes it a
year-round holiday destination.
New Zealand's spectacularly beautiful landscape includes vast mountain
chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and
lush rainforests.
New Zealand's separation from other land masses for more than 100 million
years has allowed many ancient plants and animals to survive and evolve in
isolation. Complementing our unique flora and fauna is a landscape that
contains an unrivalled variety of landforms. In a couple of days' drive it
is possible to see everything from mountain ranges to sandy beaches, lush
rainforests, glaciers and fiords and active volcanoes.
Auckland is the best place
to start exploring the North of the country. It's a great city and offers
you everything you want.
