New Zealand

24th March 2004 to 24th April 2004

Though only a little larger than Britain and about the same size as the US State of Colorado, New Zealand offers as great a variety of scenery as you'll find anywhere. It 's also relatively empty - the population is a mere 3.6 million, less than that of Singapore. Bearing in mind that 50% of Auckland, Christchurch and the capital, Wellington, it's clear that there's still plenty of room for visitors.

Being an island country, New Zealand has a great deal of coastline, in fact more than 15,000 kilometres. It's also extremely mountainous. What many peple don't realise is that Ruapehu, Mgauruhoe, Tongariro and Taranake and other mountains on the North Island are dormant volcanoes. The South Island too has some spectacular snow-covered peaks, more than 20 of which rise to over 3,000 metres. New Zealand also boasts miles of pristine beaches, glacial lakes and fjords, majestic rivers and vast tracts of primeval forest and native bush. Amazingly, even today there are some isolated spots that may never have seen a human being.
