New Zealand: Best Places to Visit

►Christchurch Due to its International Airport, Christchurch is the starting point for many visits to the South Island. The town is moderately interesting and a pleasant place to spend some time while rebounding from jet lag. If you have time, head out to the Banks Peninsula and visit. ►Akaroa A small coastal town, situated on a collapsed volcanic cone that gives the area a unique and scenic setting. The drive from Christchurch is a delight but you may need to slow to allow the sheep to use the road. Look for the bakery when you enter town, the breads are wonderful. More New Zealand
