Stayed at Langham Hotel, Auckland - Auckland, New Zealand.
|
We took a tour to Rotoroa, viewed the mud pool, sheep farming, etc. Interesting trip though a little bit tired (12 hours, one day trip).
We flew to Christchurch and went for an Akaroa tour, saw the smallest penguins. Cold out there. We saw the beautiful mountains covered by white snow. All in all, a beautiful country.
The taxi in Auckland is really charging a rather high fare. The jumping meter really scared me, partly because of the traffic jam, it took us about 20 minutes (NZD$12) from Qantas Office at Queen's Street to Sheraton (walking distance could be 10 minutes). That was the only time we took a taxi. The bus service to Botanic Down Centre was excellent. We got to view the city.
In conclusion, a good trip to NZ.

The Auckland Museum (or War Memorial Museum) is an excellent museum, approximately 20-minute hike from the Carlton. Extensive Maori collection. Be sure to attend the Maori concert held at 11am & 1:30pm. Queen St. is the major street with lots stores & restaurants.

Stayed at Christchurch YMCA - Christchurch, New Zealand.

Beautiful, low-key city to begin a tour of south island; don't miss new Christchurch Art Gallery--stunning architecture, friendly staff, and a fine, varied collection; the Arts Centre nearby combines working studios of craftspeople and artists along with shops, cafes, and restaurants amid the rambling stone towers and courtyards of the (relocated) U of Canterbury(1874); had a thumping good sandwich platter(huge portions) at The Bog on Cashel St, along with delish pumpkin soup & some trad fiddle pickin--a great comfy pub!

Stayed at Carlton Hotel Auckland - Auckland, New Zealand.

I was only in Auckland for a short stop over of two days. The first day I took a walking tour of Auckland and found the Sky Tower to be a great help in locating the many other points of interest and it helped to get a better prospective of the city.
I took a one day tour up to the Bay of Islands and even though there were only two of us going on the tour it was not canceled or rescheduled. I booked the tour at the suggestion of the bell captain. The whole day was one ongoing event after another. The tour included the approx 4 hour bus trip up the coast, lunch, tour attractions, and a boat trip out to the different islands and then back. The bus was waiting for us and then it was back to the hotel. It was all first rate and well worth the time and money.

Stayed at Novotel Capital, Wellington - Wellington, New Zealand.
|
The Angkor restaurant on Dixon street is awesome, would recommend dining there (Cambodian cuisine).
The Novotel is in a good location to the main shopping area Lambton Quay and Willis St and an easy 10-15 min walk to the restaurants and night clubs, taxi's are reasonably priced and are easy enough to get. The Westpac Trust sports stadium is also within easy walking distance as is Parliament.

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Auckland - Auckland, New Zealand.
|
A most delightful city with so much to do and see but I had very little time in doing it. City and country is vast. This can cause problems if one is not aware of the time taken to travel from one place to another.
