Nature's Postcard: New Zealand

New Zealand is by far the most scenic country I have ever seen. Each sight can be a postcard & each drive, breath taking. Its is like one of God's last created country which is untouched by civilization..no high rise buildings, no tall bridges,no multilane highways ....simply nature & at its best. It is only here that one can see a snow covered mountain & a warm sunny beach in the same frame.

Our journey here was the most unplanned one & yet the most fun. We landed in Auckland, picked up a car & just kept driving to Queenstown which is a 3000 km drive.The North Island comprises of a couple of thermal routes with geysers & mud pools while the South Island has amazing rivers, lakes & snow mountains. Cities we stoped along the way are Rotura, Wellington, Mouteka, Greymouth, Queenstown & Milford Sound.

All in all NZ rocks !!! & would love to visit this island time & again .....
