Cheaper than Canada and Australia.

1,000.00 NZD New Zealand Dollars =
559.130 USD United States Dollars
1 NZD = 0.559130 USD 1 USD = 1.78849 NZD

w00t!

it may be cheapish to stay there(Though its not completly private either) But the airfare more than makes up for it!

First one looks like the lake at Queenstown, second one looks like Keri Keri.

90 mile beach is really kinda cool, even if it is only 64 miles long.

Show em hot water beach on the Coromandal (sp?) peninsular.

First ones Milford Sound, second one is Kaiteriteri (well near Kaiteriteri) in the Abel Tasman National Park.

Just round the corner from Kaiteriteri is another fav spot of mine, Pupu Springs, supposedly the clearest fresh water in the world:

That can't be photos of New Zealand, there's not a single sheep to be seen!

Its amazing how beautiful a natural setting can be when it hasn't been contaminated by industrial pollution. Florida used to be like that but we sold our lands to Anderson Columbia and now there's a cement plant dumping contaminates into Itchetucknee Springs. And I won't even begin to tell you how long we've been draining the Everglades so we could put up condos and truck stops. And then there was the Cross-Florida Barge Canal project that nearly killed our water supply in the southern half of the state.

I hear Detroit and Cleveland used to be nice areas to live, too. And Pittsburgh. And Chicago. And Boston. Anybody doing any diving this weekend in New York?

Hey, I got an idea. Since gas prices are so high right now, why don't we drop an oil well in the middle of an Alaskan wilderness preserve? Sounds like good economic sense to me.

Nice post Vulcan.

What you forgot to say, was that the sandflies at MIlford Sound are the size of small bats and 3 of them can drain the blood from your body in about 30 seconds.

There's no sheep in any of those pictures as we are rapidly going out of the sheep business because nobody wants to buy the meat.

And not 20 minutes from those Kaiteriteri beaches there is a lime extraction company that wants to expand it's pit into an area that contains native plant life of which there are no comparable species anywhere else in the world.

I could go on and on, but what I really want to say is STFU VULCAN!! We don't need any more people here!! Return to your homes folks - nothing to see here!

Mutter grumble. fediddleing big mouth travel agent.

mmmf those mountains are green...those beachs have blue water...and the sky is blue in all those pictures what do you possibly see in that place???

if i had it my way the sky would be a almost dreary overcast all mountains would be bare stone and the water would be well...slate grey
