New Zealand, the Land of the Long White Cloud.  From the sandy tip of the North Island, to the elusive Kiwi hiding in the bush of New Zealand’s “forgotten island” – Stewart Island – New Zealand is one of the world’s most scenic destinations.  And it is full of surprises..  bubbling geysers, Maori warriors, ancient rainforests, Art Deco cities, driftwood on a wild beach, an overnight cruise in the fiords where fur seals swim after the other tourists leave. Ride a milk delivery boat.  Tour a vineyard and stay for lunch.  Swim with dolphins. Watch whales. Boat through temperate rain forest fiord land. Visit high sheep country, craft centers, and eco lodges staffed by naturalists. Hike glaciers.  Or just do nothing but soak up the views.
