I am travelling to New Zealand from the UK in September 2006 and will be visiting the top half of the South Island.
Looking forward to lots of hardcore adventure - I hear that New Zealand is the adrenalin capital of the world. And looking forward to seeing the whales in Kaikoura - Free Willie and all that.
Spending two days in Marlborough country - I've been told its got nothing to do with cigarettes, but plenty to do with wine - and that is fine with me, so long as it is hangover free!
Going on to some place called Greymouth on the West Coast which is supposed to be some of the most wild scenery in the country - really wet and lush rainforests and glaciers etc.
