New Zealand is made up of the North and South Islands, unlike the UK the north is warmer than the south and it does feel a little strange that when you go South it gets colder.
The people in New Zealand are very friendly and hospitable. When I was going on my first visit to New Zealand, people kept telling me that a New Zealand Winter was like our British Summer, I soon found out that their winter was like our winter and I was soon looking for an extra layer of clothing!
We always arrive into Auckland, at the International airport, on the North Island, and during our tour of New Zealand, travel to the South island, again by air. The scenery is very different from one island to the other.
New Zealand has got a lot to offer the visitor, I am lucky enough to have visited both Auckland and Queenstown with different groups, on a number of occasions and look forward to taking more groups back in the not to distant future.
