SWMBO & I are planning a trip to NZ sometime next year and in an attempt
to balance out her choice of scenic locations to visit, I'd welcome
suggestions of 'must see' locations for an
engineer/scientist/woodbutcher like myself and like most readers of this NG.

Suggestions please (polite or at least humourous naturally!)

Weblinks to events too would be good. visit is possible next November or
just maybe sooner - next February.

TIA

It's a very long flight.
Consider planning some stopovers on the way.
Bali, Singapore, Hongkong, Delhi, Kuala Lumpar, Los Angeles. Hawaii/
Pacific islands, Panama Costa Rica
All possible because it's almost exactly the antipodes.
Different airlines have different possibilities.

You might find a Round The World ticket cheaper. ie carry right on and
circle the globe. Going Eastward is usually cheaper because of the
jetstream.
You can stopover one place going and another on the way back.
Third world countries are really cheap to stsy in,you can fix
everything by email/internet.

NZ is a good place to hire a car + they drive on the left.
