AOTEAROA - Land of the Long White Cloud

by joanj - last update: Aug 26, 2004

Welcome to my New Zealand Page.

I spent 6 wonderful weeks between the North and South Islands, saw wonderful scenery, friendly people, and had a thoroughly wonderful time.

Cricket Tour & Sightseeing

We went to New Zealand primarily to watch the New Zealand v England Cricket Test.
We travelled on so many small planes between the North & South Islands, and as well as my Husband watching the cricket, I did my own thing on those days. The organised tour we went on allowed us to see so many places too. We added on another week to the 5 week tour, to stay with our friends in Napier , the Art Deco city of the North Island. Then we came home via a 4 days stop in Sydney, Australia.
It goes without saying, I would love to go back again, the two islands have their own character and diversity.
Who knows !!!!

 It's been a few years since I've been on the bridge at Huka Falls. I remember when it was still a "swing bridge", I was terrified as a child!
