New Zealand trip
Some time ago I posted that we're going to NZ this autumn, so end of the
month it is! I had a lot of helpful advice about things to see and places to visit for which I'm very grateful. Our itinerary (after a few days in Xian) is Kerikeri, Napier & Hawkes Bay, Wellington, Abel Tasman National Park, Wanaka, Te Anau, Devonport, Auckland - home! We've got places to stay in all these stops for a few nights and then we're also at leisure in between stops to pick and choose where we visit. We'll be away for around 6 weeks altogether and we are looking forward to it like mad! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |

You will enjoy it no end, we went there on our World Cruise in 2006 and were hoping to go there next year but have changed our plans and are doing half a World Cruise on Arcadia in January and February, flying back from Singapore. Have a super time Mike |

Ray has been before but it's new ground for me and I'm really excited about seeing the Terracotta Army on our way to NZ. I saved all the suggestions we had for places to visit but now the itinerary is fixed in terms of time and places we'll actually stay but with 'free driving time' in between those, we'll welcome all ideas and suggestions. Personally, I intend to take every possible advantage of the chance to swim and sail! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |

I would love to see the forbidden city and the terracotta army I caught a couple of programs on the Discovery Channel about them absolutely stunning - we were brought up on them tho' we used to call them joke coming Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men. Sounds like my kind of holiday if you add in some Trout fishing in the NZ lakes Derek |

We'll be away for around 6 weeks altogether and we are looking forward to it like mad! some tips for you. Please don't bring the english summer with you, it has only just stopped raining here. If you are thinking of going swimming, find a heated pool. Kerikeri, go to the Bay of Islands and especially a place just up the road called the Haruru Falls. If the pub there is still open stop in and have a beer, especially if a warmish night. Magic little place. Napier - art deco, do the walking tour at least. http://www.historic.org.nz/Register/...sp?RID=1170&rm http://www.artdeconapier.com/Guided_..._Tours_46.aspx http://www.artdeconapier.com/Art_Dec...ldings_28.aspx Devonport - take a hike around Mt Victoria & ferry across to the city or even better out to Waiheke Island. The ferry ride is a great way to view the city. Auckland - Gardens in Parnell only small but nice in spring, Auckland domain, and Botanical gardens in Manurewa. http://gardens.co.nz/Gardenstovisit/Auckland.htm Frasers Cafe in Mount Eden Road - very nice afghan biscuits http://www.igougo.com/entertainment-...resso_Bar.html Heleems Restaurant for a very nice curry (I have tried over 1 dozen in Auckland over the past 2 months, this one was good) http://www.dineout.co.nz/restaurant....Cuisine_(Halal) rob |
