Dear Paul and other Ziners, I went to New Zealand in their
winter and
over all it was great. Think March in Seattle,I went once and
swore I
never would freeze again visiting paradise.I'm from the mid-west
so
weather feels different from place to place. In New Zealand
the bus
driver on the south island kept the bus warm so it felt good
to get
out in the 50 degrees outside. The driver on the north island
was
comfortable in short sleeves and kept the bus cool(COLD). While
he
was in short sleeves some were freezing in their big coats and
gloves. Also, we almost got pinned in the Milford sound because
of
the danger from avalances. We were able to enjoyed our boat
ride and
hurried out. My traveling campanion enjoyed snow skiing which
was
different then the powder in Colorado.If you go,plan to stay
in farm
stays where you meet and exchange thoughts with real people.
It was
the highlight of our trip.I learned to appreciate wine in New
Zealand. I'll be glad to answer any questions that I can. Wilma in K.C. |
