You want to know, what's New zealand like? That is a hard and difficult question to answer.

Do you know how it's like when you love something (or someone) so much that you can't find any word who nearly can describe or express how much..? That's exactly, what NZ is like!!

Now you know how much I love New Zealand and how much it means for me but I will try to tell you a little bit more detailed about that breathtaking country!

If I knew your definition of 'paradise' it would be easier, but if you think of beautiful sandy beaches surounded by steep rocks from which are falling waterfalls down and in the rough sea you can see the dolphins playing in the waves and -of course- there is noone else but you, just your footprints in the sand, isn't that a dream??

For me it is and there is not only one place like this, you can find it nearly everywhere in New Zealand. 'Find' is not the right word therefore because you don't have to search for it it's like sand in the desert:
-> everywhere!

Everytime I am in New Zealand I feel like a little child, not lost or something like that, it's just because I see everything through a child's eye.
Fascinated like a little child who sees snow for the first time
Fascinated like a little child who sees the mountains for the first time
Fascinated like a little child who sees the sea for the first time
Fascinated like a little child who is in a plain for the first time

Everywhere I go I just stay still for a while and look, look and can't believe what god -or who ever is sittig there- did while he was creating NZ.

Mountains, rainforest, sheltered beaches, rough sea, black-stone beaches, glaciers, fjordlands, one of the most activest volcanic areas in the whole world where you can relax in hot water spas, sparkling water comming out of the earth, geysirs, national parks where you can do a lot of waslks and tracks and of course everywhere you can see the house-high silverfern, one of NZ's national symbol.

You can do each kind of sport activities (especially in the sporty city Queenstown in the southwest of the southisland!) in and around New Zealands rivers and lakes where you can learn dep-sea-fishing or things like that as well.

You can go to caves (Waitomo caves) with millions of glowworms, dive or do, whatever you like to do...lay at the beach and relax while you see the sperm whales passing by, swim with dolphins in there natural livingroom or see (in Kaikoura) 14 penguins species (worldwide there are only 16 left) living in New Zealands sea.

Maybe you are interested in how an kiwi (tha national bird and the name the new zealanders give to themselves) look like, or how an albatross might land on the ground and believe me, it looks rreally funny!!

I think New Zealand is the most beautiful countrzs in the world I have ever seen, nothing compareable, but this is, what I am thinking, and to make your own you really should come and built your own oppinion.

I´m sure it will be worth it!!

Auch für mich ist NZ ein Traumziel, war zweimal da, jeweils mit einem RTW-Ticket...am schönsten war ein Flug mit einer kleinen Cessna von Queenstown über die Alpen in den Milford Sound

A very constructive and informative op. Avril
