Summary of New Zealand

The North Island
Auckland is an amazing city, plenty of culture and i would say is the most business orientated city in NZ. As soon as you head north say goodbye to the beautiful skyline and massive harbour you instantly get stuck into the beautiful country side NZ has to offer. Rolling fields, snow capped mountains, stunning blue sky's and vast crystal blue lakes. The bay of islands in truly awe inspiring, especially on a clear day when there isn't a could in the sky. NZ is very accommodating for campers, you can camp most places just on the side of the road and not get bothered by the police.
The people aren't i regret to report as accommodating or friendly as they're Australian counterparts. We'll the Mauri people aren't friendly but the European Kiwis are a little better. I must say that the Mauri culture is a lot more respected than the Australian Aboriginal culture. I spoke to a kiwi and he said that it's forced down they're throats more than accepted but that may be just his opinion.
The South Island
The south island in my opinion is more picturesque than the north island. It's slightly rough and tough on the account it has more mountains and ski areas. Queenstown is my favourite town in the whole of New Zealand, it's not that big but because it's a very ski orientated town, plenty of hire shops as well as the majority of the bungy jumps. The glaciers are also an amazing site, they aren't that far from the sea. The truly sad thing is that they will disappear in my life time so I'm really glad that i have seen them. The people on the south island are slightly more friendly but i have that impression because i haven't meet that many on the south island. If i had to recommend one of the two islands it would have to be the south island because its more extreme and the majority of amazing sights are here.
