The Summary
New Zealand is supposed to be supremely beautiful with rugged scenery and many kinds of beaches. My husband, my camera and I are going to find out. We hear that the food (ice cream, cheese, seafood) and wine are pretty spectacular too. The only drawback is no native animals – just birds. So we’ll look at birds (preferably penguins on mountains, by waterfalls, on beaches and near good cafes).
